Re: 46 pickemup in NJ "the Rebuild"

Well some progress, although small. Its amazing how many different combinations you can come up with when you have 6 ports, 100 different fittings and a lot of time on your hands. Biggest problem was getting my bends tight enough to clear the Clifford intake and power steering bracket. I also tried my best to keep all the primary tubes the same length, but the front most port is slightly longer than the rest because of its distance from the collector.

But, I finally got my headers mocked up the way I think I want them. Now that there all pinned in place, I can pack them up and send them off to be made! The headers will be made out of 304 stainless. 1 1/2" primary tubing down to a 2" merge collector, and then 2 1/4" exhaust pipe out the back. Before I do that, does anyone have any suggestions, or changes I should make.



On a side note....I got another piece of the puzzle in the mail this week for the motor. A new custom harmonic damper from Walt Pearce!
