8.50 index build

Todd Geisler · 10-19-2021, 04:12 PM

The next project was to build headers. Did everything I could to get out of having to build them myself, but in the end I had to force myself to do it. Hated every minute of it except the welding.

One side tacked in place...

Simple fixture I made to hole the collectors in place.

Beautiful workmanship. Just curious what brand of welder you use at home?

Thank you.

I have an Everlast PowerTig 255ext water cooled. I took it to the shop when doing the tube work so everything on the car was done with this welder.

T.I.G.H.T I would not like to be your starter.

Not sure what you mean about the starter.

If you mean header tubes and the starter, the closest tube is at least 2 or 3 inches away. can take the starter on and off and connect/disconnect wires without removing any header tubes.
