Ok. So I have not posted pics in a few days. Here is why. I was designated to fab the header from hell.
This is a full custom header to compliment the passenger side one I made last week.
This is why it is the header from hell. The runners are 2-1/4" in diameter
and they have to fit between a big block and the frame. O did i mention that there is a 1" diameter steering shaft going down the middle? That leaves me with only 2-1/2" max on each side of the shaft.
Fun
Anyways. So after bolting the flange to the head, I started on the 3rd runner.
Then mocked that up. Shit this is going to be fun.
Not much room. Keep in mind this single runner is larger than a 240sx stock exhaust.
Then I got really buisy and didnt have time to take pics. So here is after making the rest of the 3rd runner, and the other front tubes.
Then i made the 4th runner.
Cut some madrel bend 304 stainless.
Then I welded it up. Here is my back purging setup. Allways back purge with stainless.
Added the down tube.
Tig welding goodness. Sorry my camera sucks and wont focus on the bead.
Just to give you guys an idea on the bead size. Here is a comarison pic with a sharpie cap in the pic. Yes the beads on the welds are smaller than the diameter of the pocket clip on the pen cap. So about the diameter of a tooth pick.
Yes it fits.
2nd runner made.
More gangster shit.
Then I went to mock up the oil filter relocation bracket and noticed the custom aluminum oilpan does not clear.
So I threw it on the mill and made some room.
Then I went insane and mocked up the remaining tubes.
Sexy
Wow
Floppy pasta.
Porn
With the blower.
Skeet
Yum
Cool temper colors on the welds.
While welding the tubes.
O yea then after kicking ass on that header and making the owner of shop excited, I finished the firebird dash that I fabbed up last week.
Whew, what a day.
Please comment guys.
