When building the headers did y'all sequence the primaries into the collector based on the engine's firing order? I've heard it can help with scavenging, but am curious to hear your opinion. Thank you kindly! Awesome content! 🤘😎🤙
Another interesting video. Thanks to Mike, Dave and the team. I have a question as someone who has never welded before. How do you finish off the welding in the middle of the primary's where they connect to the collector?
A less expensive and more forgiving alternative for headers is using schedule pipe. It's thick enough it dosn't warp much, you can use a mig welder, you don't need to purge it (although it's a good idea), comes in all sorts of bends the one major drawback is it's quite heavy. Makes good short-mid length turbo headers but might not be practical for full long tube headers.
Where did you get those adjustable coilover mounts on the front of your frame? I've looked everywhere and cant find them. I've looked up mrc Fabrication and can't find a website or contact info. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Awesome work there. Better and better. And, it is absolutely heartwarming to see... the RoadKill donkey overseeing production. Mascot and Luck Charm. Without that magical piece of art, none of this would be possible. Well, maybe.
There's something so satisfy about those last shots of you slipping the header into place! Knowing that you built that and there will be no question about fitment is a beautiful thing!
I was once told by a old hot roder that when it comes to building headers it’s important to try to keep all of the tubing equal length for proper tuning. Is that in fact a necessity? Curious because i want to build my own.
Had a customer bring me one of the SHM kits to build headers. Flanges were not flat to begin with. Then I had cut and grind alot of material off to get them to actually bolt onto the motor. Part of that was head studs but the main part was they fouled on the plugs. Oh and not all the holes lined up so I had to open some of them up. Definitely shit flanges compared to who made yours. Then the SHM kit uses Rathgibson tubing and they never weld perfect there is always some contaminates coming up in the weld puddle. Ive seen this before and it's just strange, I dont have this issue with higher quality stainless, or hell even the cheap Vibrant tubing welds cleaner. The collectors were pretty decent tho.
When you were talking about your younger slimmer better looking 2007 self you said you should of seen me well guess what I've been watching roadkill since episode one so I did see you like that
my question would be: how long do the pipes on the individual cylinders have to be? I heard they should all be the same length? how do you measure that? and the second question: do you write down the individual measurements so that someone who wants to replicate this could possibly get these measurements from you?
Rip Boyd but never liked his vehicles there where too done I love hot rods people call them rat rods but real hot rods where built by people who didn't have a lot of money Boyd built street rods show cars
