Started building my headers...

For my T-88 Lt1. Motor is a 355, AFR Raised Runner 215 heads, ported by GTP...PTE88.





I should have the other side built in the next day or so, and get the rest of the system done. I will post up some progress pics soon!

Looking good Chris. Nice timing chain cover too. You still running a chain?

I REALLY like the intake too. Care to share some details?

Looks like you're going to need a really big hood.

The intake is a Super Victor 4500 from Edelbrock, that I am modifying for FI. Belive it or not, the headers will work with a stock hood. I should have the drivers header done tomarrow, and I will post up some in-car shots to show the fitment!

I'm going to be in the same predicament pretty soon. A stealth ram and a stock S10 hood do not mix. 4" cowl hood here I come.

What about the intake? I'm thinking you'll have to give a few inches on that.

I figured it was a Super Vic. It looked a little too big for a Vic Jr. Nice fab work on the elbow too. In-house or did you get it from somewhere?

Very nice work on the passenger header. We looked over all the pics @ the shop last night and it looks sharp. I take it the x-over goes around the front of the motor, right? 4" downpipe will be fun too, unless you're running a tubular K. My dual 3"ers clear with plenty of room to spare.

Here is an in-car shot, to get an idea of what will clear. I am going to run a hardwood hood, for weight reduction and heat venting...but I could MAYBE get away with a modifyed SS hood, if I wanted to be alittle more stealthy I am running a PA crossmember, and a modifyed solid motor mounts. With the headers upswept, I have pleanty of room down low. After I build the crossover pipe, I am going to install the real motor, and mock everything up before coating...so I will have some better pics then. BTW...everything on the car has been done inhouse by me and adrian, besides the motor and coating work.
