Thanks for the kind words.
Exhaust systems can face you with challenges as most people build a car and don’t think about the exhaust then just dump it where they can get too.
If you forward plan then it can be really benifitial
Most of the rod systems are more function over pure performance most will tell you otherwise but it’s normally the case!
The guys really wanted the pipes to the bumper, it was near on impossible but ‘hold my beer’
A slight pause at the mo, I?ve had a swap around in the workshop and John is going over his van.
Mean while I attempted to tidy some areas up starting with my tool box! What a mess that was. Threw away loads of old crap. Much better now. More of a clear out to come haha
Knocked up a little G clamp stand!
Can never have enough G clamps [emoji1303]

Hi!
Hopefully I can show you the current tinkering in the shop. Pics should come out ok.
big block Chevy corvette.
2.0 primary?s
more room in a tea bag than past the steering box.
Trust me I?ve tried every route.
Things are going to be tight, will likely have to run shorty plugs to clear the leads.
However, enjoy the start.
You sure like a tight fit, contortionist comes to mind. Bloody good work. Unfortunately I am one those that have gone with it will go there, that will do for now blokes
G
I think I’m the person that says yeah that’ll fit lol must like a challenge
nice work tom :thumbs_up_smiley:
i like making headers, worst i've had to do was for my 65 dart with a 440 swapped in it. it was easier to make those fenderwell style which i like anyway but even then they took me a week to make :eek:
neil.
I would say this was 2nd worse I’ve done. Worst was a 460 stroker in a falcon all a bit wrong that was.
A bit behind on updates but this is the driver side header welded up. Hours of fabrication. Hours of welding. Primarys are all back purged. 316 stainless.
Very nice. Also good to see you making the headers with the plug socket on.
Nice job tom,
i can see the hours spent on those…:thumbs_up_smiley:
Gorgeous
Thats art!
Thanks all, yep, funny enough Gary (Chevy 2) Taught me always have the plug spanner handy when building headers!
There’s room for that but the lead are very close, it’s either that or no header to be honest, there wasn’t enough room to drop straight down and along the top of cylinder 1, just gunna have to see, shorter plugs ect should help.
Gary, I bet you can!! Speaking from experience and all that! Tricky one this with no real idea on space. With no steering box I’d say it would be a ‘doddle’ but that’s easy to say - a bit like ‘it’s just a few bits’ etc.
On to the passenger side. That is ‘easier’ but have to be able to get the battery out with headers in place, also be able to clear the starter and steering so that means a totally odd header, But we’re not here for symmetry this time round!
pics to follow
Have you thought of using those insulted plug lead covers ? Means going too straight plug leads tho

Yes mate. Either way will probably be close.
Looks great. Well done.
