Well thought i would share some progress with you guys! got some good work done, still got a good ways to go
K guys, got a new tool! a metal cutting saw so i could start working on my headers



After 2 days of working, i have made some decent progress on them.



Obviously i have only tacked the pipes into place incase i need to change things up a little.



PS- does anyone have recomendations for someone who could coat the headers? (i am making them out of mild steel)



















DRIVER SIDE















Here are some pics of the new wiring harness i have, replaces ALL the old stuff.







More to come

 

More power to ya man,gonna be sweet when ya get it done.

 

hopefully the engine runs.... hahaha

and i just talked to my trans guy..... My trans was in a train crash on the way to my house, after 2 months of delay......... awsome

 

what primary tube diameter is that? looks small.

 

not really, its 1 3/4" pipe. Most guys use this size or smaller. And the plan is to get the car running, make a season or two with it, then go back and convert it to either a big single, or twin turbos

 

IMHO if you're building them yourself i would have have went with 2"

 

eh, 1 3/4 is fine for what i am doing right now

 

I think you'll be fine with what ya got,and chitty luck with the transmission,go figure huh.

 

for sure, Already got the new one on its way tho. Should be here tomorrow morning (as long as the truck doesnt blow up lmfao) then another week for the new converter to be turned and the bellhousing

 

Awesome man! I bet your learning alot as you go with this one. That wiring looks like a headache lol. Where did you get the kit?
