Trying to Gauge Interest In Some Parts

I'm ordereing the header flange next week, after it comes in I order the weld els and pipe. I plan on something similar to the one in this thread http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=212272

but I want the turbo closer to the engine so I am planning a "log" style header. My goal is the have the turbo flange beneath the heat riser in the intake manifold. No coating required since it is heavy wall stainless. I will do my own welding. I am planning to install a heat shield on the top and bottom of the header to control some radiant heat.

When I actually do start the process I will take lots of pictures and post them. There used to be a video on youtube of someone making a turbo slant six header out of schedule 40 black steel weld els. The video was removed quite some time ago. I wish I had downloaded a copy of it.

I think you're on the right track with your header design, with regard to kepping the pipes short and the turbo close to the engine. If we ever build another header, it will feature that design.

You're lucky that you have the capability to weld your own stainless steel pieces. That gives you more flexibility and time to work with, plus it's lots cheaper.

We'll appreciate the pictures a lot!:glasses7:

Will your car be carbureted, or have some sort of fuel injection? I'm very much interested in this build. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Good luck with it!!!:cheers:
