Stage 2 header build part 2

[Mike E]

I've been busy building some stuff for another buick owner for the last couple months. I should be wrapping it up this week and getting back to mine.

I've been thinking about manufacturing and selling some simple good fitting stage 2 headers with a log style passenger side header. I learned a few things building this set. No matter what you do, plug access on stage 2 heads is going to be tough. It is hard to build a 2.5" crossover that clears the pan, starter and flywheel. A log manifold is more work to build than a collector style header. With a little more work to the downpipe, this could all easily clear an A/C box.

I'm now one step closer to making a production run of these. But, nothing is going to happen until after my car runs and paints some stripes on the street.

Headers.
1.75" primaries, 2.5" crossover/ log

downpipe.
3.5"

Cool alternator bracket. Did you make that? Oh, and the headers are killer too

 

[Mike E]

Yes, I made that too.

Wow, you have a mill also? I need something similar for my N/A build but I will be using a mini alternator. I am usng the RJC pullies with a serp belt though so the spacing should be similar. Maybe as I get closer I can pick your nose ... um brain a little. I need to get the cage done and then make motor mounts to determine how much space have. Cool stuff, you obviously get lots of garage time.
