So those who know me have known for quite awhile I've been planning something for my 9. Namely, a holset, a header and a few other goodies. Well here are pics of the semi-complete header. The collector was somewhere around the shop, but Miles was out at work today, so I just went in and snapped a few pics. Anyway, check it out. Purty isn't she!

where is mine?

my brother is going to 3week welding school for steel and another month and a half for alum through the coast gaurd, maybe after i can get him to fab something up
 
Looking good! Bottom mount headers FTW. I wish I made my 1800 header a bottom mount... :grrr:

If you should try to achieve equal length,try and run the tubes for 2&3 over 1&4. If you wanted to do Pulse match as well, just switch up pipes 2 and 3 to 'x' over each other. Granted your method will keep the turbo closer to the block for cleaence sake... good work either way.

i.e.;

are you measuring spline length or volume for those?

that was just a rough sketch/guestimation. ... i never took the time to meausre it exactly. but that path allows you more room in for the 2/3 runners.

Is volume is the correct way to meausre the 'equal length'?
 
Honestly dude awesome that you are off your butt and tryin, but if it were me I might try again, and/or tweak a few things. There's a lot you could do to easily make that thing way better. The 2&3 runners should curve up and then back down to even the lengths out a bit, and the 1&4 look like they are 90 degrees to each other where they meet, so they are 45 degrees off-tangent- that's like instead of using a bend to to a 45* turn, just cutting the pipe at 45* and welding it on.

Also I would work on fitting the pipes up a little better, it makes welding much easier and the welds will be stronger and look better and be less crack prone.

if you need any help let me know.
