My new headers.....

[models916]

DIY version, no instructions. Going to try making MT super scavengers from this pile. Should take all Summer. These pipes are Ballanger.

Well that should keep you out of mischief for a while!

 

[El Rat]

Good God man what where you thinking?

Go for it Models,

I did a small set for my Banger out of 1 1/2" ss.
Hard part was allowing for stretching and shrinking of the pipes as they were welded and then cooled.

"Some assembly required"

Been busy with the pond rebuild. Headers look like a fall/winter project. I think I have everything I need……we'll see. I have been thinking about selling the Doug's try-y's to get me motivated and force me to get them done.

 

[bobs409]

would have thought those would be done by now...

ACP Headers is actually Stahl Headers these days.. they still sell the best 409 Headers on the market. They still use the original jig that was used back in the day and offer 2 piece units, step up pipes and adjustable collectors.. cool stuff

Cut holes in board to center the square flange of the 409. Started to put these together to see where I'm at. I'll pull the fenders off my 62 shortly. See where I'm at for real....

 

[Hobart]

Good luck, Mike!

Got these today from ND. 1.875" OD. He bought the tooling from Indiana company who bought it from the MT supplier. Guess I'll have to get my ass in gear now. Move the whole thing to the car in the garage.

Looking good Mike.I never ran this style of header on my small block stuff but the Buick guys loved them!

 

[Barry Taylor]

I did some of my best cursing building headers for the Nova and the white BelAir Ronnie and I raced. "Never again"

 

[Tom Kochtanek]

Patience grasshopper .

Somebody out there must have it all, 'cause I certainly don't (gotta work on that....).
