Re: LT1 GenV swap

Made the mock up passenger side header, not as easy as I thought, but not to bad.



One down, 3 to go..

Clint

Knocked out one more



Got the first 3 bends cut out for #1 and the. Called it a day.. as difficult as #1 looks, is easier to work with than #3. I'll go about it the same way once tube #1 is all tacked up I weld the starter tubes to the flange. Afterwards
I will surface it aka belt sander it flat. Install the flange and start tacking the 3 tubes to the flange, then tack the tubes at the collector. All that's left is to remove the header and fab tube #2.

I do wish I had bought a double hump crossmember though.. maybe I'll just mod the one I already made.. or just leave it
