We needed some headers to use so we could run our eng on the dyno,I was going to make a set of rough ones up,but my boy and me made these this weekend,two full days work,
They look so good that we will try them at the strip when the eng is done.

Two days work?? I think it would take a week for me. But they look cool.

They look great. Let us kow how they do.

I have made headers and know what is involved. This looks like way more then two days work.

Great looking job!

Well, they sure look good...I will be HIGHLY interested in hearing if they show an improvment.
In the old days, that style headers never showed any gain on the dyno
for me whereas the "W" type did.

Yes, we are trying twin plug heads and thought that we wanted to adjust each set of plugs individualy.
Hopefully the heads will be picked up later this month.Lawrie

Lawrie, great workmanship where do you run at. Harold

We mostly go to our local strip ,but once or twice a year we travel to Willowbank,
We are thinking of taking it to New Zealand next year for the nostalgia drags ,but we know that there is a fast flathead rail there so we will have to do more work.Lawrie
