Hope this might help somebody out. To me fitting tubes is a pain in the azz
Title: Re: Header job for bill rogers car Post by: danny gabbard on September 25, 2009, 17:11:13 pm Hi louis , The stock breast plate was in the car while I was tacking tube's and tube lenghts are close, You can spend a lot of time playing with that. Its just a vw
Title: Re: Header job for bill rogers car Post by: louisb on September 25, 2009, 17:14:40 pm 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. :D

Title: Re: Header job for bill rogers car Post by: rick m on October 05, 2009, 07:57:15 am 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.

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! Title: Re: Header job for bill rogers car Post by: danny gabbard on October 06, 2009, 02:21:45 am Hi dave, I wanted to make sure the collector was the way I wanted it . And just wanted to fit the thing to the car, And I wanted to tig it my self, Thats all. How ya been dave, Its been a while since we talked last.
Title: Re: Header job for bill rogers car Post by: bilboa2 on October 06, 2009, 04:59:39 am 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
