Hot Rods Let's see your headers. Custom built only

I build headers using U bends, not kits.

 

My home made for my 4 banger. Still being made in these pictures, I then had it ceramic coated.

 

My next little project is building a set for this thing and keeping them inside the stock fender panels.

Yes it's an I-Beam axle and stock 40 steering column. Prymarys are 2.125 and must squeeze between the wishbone and frame rails and go around the steering box. Why make it easy? Stay tuned.

 

I made these last winter, good at the drag strip but to loud on the street. With my blown mill, they set off all the car alarms in town.

 

Had to build the swedges too! Hell's Gate Hot Rods flanges.

 

My MIG-welded headers have 5/16" thick flanges from "Headers by Ed" with 3.5"x10" collectors and 16 ga, 1 5/8" primary tubes using 2.5" radius mandrel U-bends from Summit.

Willys
For small 331 heads. Put new heads with bigger ports so made the ones below


New big tube headers for the Willys




'36 Pontiac with 230 straight 6. Excuse the XXXXXXX front end!!

 

Building a 32 roadster with a 365 Cadillac engine. Sprint car type headers. Smoothing the welds for chrome plating. My own flame cut flanges.

 

302 G M C. 2 center pipes 2" because they have to serve 2 cylinders each. Outer pipes 1.75" because they only serve 1 cylinder each.

 

Consider Jet Hot instead of chrome. This stuff is amazing. Have headers that are unblemished and still bright after 20 years.

 

Lots of headers I built have been ceramic coated.

 

Here are two I've done.
One on my avatar champ car; one for my altered roadster drag car.
I used stainless steel on both of these.

 

Full race 47 Ford. 2" center pipe split length wise to form taper.

 

-you didn't just cheat and swap sides now did you...--beauties!

 

I see that roadster now has an Ardun !

 

A few sets.

 

@TexasSpeed fabbed it!

 

You didn't mention scale, does 1/8 scale count?

 

and new headers to fit.
I don't know who built the new headers
or if they cut mine up to do it.

 

Hey Marty.... what's the reason for the bulges in the airplane header runners?

 

That’s pretty intense!
