    a good set of headers is a big focal point of the engines looks i think and i've got ideas that i like this is kinda what i'm going for i like straight up except
    if it rains but i still like 4 in a row or 4 into one with the later i could put tractor flappers on them an make one baffle for each side

    What the FU*K is that shit ?
    Didn't you ever hear of "Block Hugger Headers" before ?
    I want to see how you are going to change that 3rd plug back on the drivers side !

  6. Easy fix for rain problem. Don't weld the pipes making contact. They will coat better and not rust between them. Carry an 8 pack of beer cans with the bottom cut out and drop them over when not driving.

    Block Huggers are restrictive as Fuck, you might as well just run a cast manifold!, and they are also WAY too common on rods with SBC's, I like the "build it yourself headers also"!

    When your building those headers from pre-owned units they weld a lot better if you blast off the old paint first. They are easier to paint or coat also without the previous crap on them.
     
  9. One of these Days I hope to find out what these sound like.

    Man, you guys cant look for a postive out of things.

    the headers look good, and maybe he is gonna blast em before he welds em, guys got $25 bucks in em, and the look good. look like an old headman header, plus if you look the headers are out far enough to get a plug wire on the plug.

    yeah, and block huggers are gay.

    heres a pic of some headman type headers i made.

  12. I know these are Chassis headers but what the Hell. Talk about Tight, and they are equal length within 5 percent volumn.

    I used a set of these Hedman Hedders on my '31 Chevy P/U

    hed-68308_w.jpg

    They actually fit perfect. I had to move the steering box back about 2" thats it!!!:rolleyes:

    They sure beat shitty block huggers.:p

    These are over the counter '68-'82 Corvette long tube headers. 15/8 primaries and 3" collectors.
