A couple more pictures The second picture is what I do to hold two tubes together while tacking, Tack a old hose clamp and punch a couple holes in it and then rap around tubes and tack throught hole. Hope this might help somebody out. To me fitting tubes is a pain in the azz

I like that it clears the rear apron. Hard to find a header that will not require cutting it up. Speaking of rear aprons, I need to get up with you some time about filling the exhaust cutouts on mine. Probably in a month or so when I am not so broke.  Cheesy

Is it going to be 3-bolt flange or something more exotic?  I always have trouble with the 1 o'clock bolt sitting against the apron.   Undecided

Nice work, looks clean.

Hey Doug! No Sh*t, but that is a bad ass sump, I remember when you were working on it. That must be 5-6 Qt sump, right? Take care Doug!

Doug,

What were your final numbers on the cooling affect of the sump you made. Didn't you have that on DEE's motor with the 95 porsche pistons? I seem to remember you stating it was one of the things that helped cool the motor.  I've thought about modifying one for my 2275 before putting it in my chop top. Would love to hear what the results were.

Hey Danny...honest question here...not being a smart-a. 
Whats the reason for building a header when you can buy a nice A1 or something similar over the counter.  Are you doing something special w' it?

Looking forward to seeing this thing done!

rick, car ran cool with my k 10 2332. I also have a therm. controlled kymco coolier/fan above trans . Doug also made a little fresh air ducting towards cooling fan. I think that really helped too. Even after moving here to nevada car ran 210-215 at most. bill
