Yours looks like it's for a merged one?  Huh Non-merged have a longer tube on the flange.

I'd like to find the same for a standard 1"3/8 non-merged header Tongue Tongue looks really good.

I had an opportunity to buy a used set of Thunderbird merged dual QPs at Sacramento last month, but passed on 'em for an inexplicable reason... they would have been a nice alternative option for my current 2.5-inch dynomax.  If memory serves me correct, the Dave Rhoades car had T-bird merged QPs?

I didn't get it in the mail, but I didn't get it today either... so it kind of evens out...  Wink
Yesterday I got to try out the results of a case decked in my new jig. Magnus LH has made it for me after I had some bad experiences with crocked machining from one of the biggest machine shops in California.
My new case isn't decked parallel to the crank, and the only way to cure it is to re-machine it laying on the crank, we made it so it would balance on the cam as well to get the cylinders truly 90 degrees on the crank/cam centre line.
To be able to do this we chose to do the machining with bearings... and it came out perfect.
Here is some pics from when Magnus made it...  top bloke!!

Got this not in the mail, but off the Big Brown Truck.  Notice the O-Ring groove where the sump mates to the engine case.  These are pretty much available now.

Yeah sure did ,I was amazed at the interest still in this car , and sound's like you guy's made his trip . He came home buzzing with a great story to tell , and one I am sure he will never forget . If you ever find your self on this side of the world be sure to let us know , would be an honor to show you guy's the hospitality he received on his visit , and it  has made me so enthusiastic about coming over my self . Something on the must do list .
