I messed around with that bracket for a couple hours today and just was not happy with how the down pipe would be routed, so I ditched that somebitch.....

I am going to just mount the turbo on the driver side header instead..... This will make everything work out for the best..... I got started on building the driver side header, so I atleast think I made some progress today..... The front 2 tubes are tacked into the header flange and welded to the collector star I made..... It was also a pain getting the tube squared up to fit the header flange properly..... I am going to try and get the rest of the ds header done tomorrow.....

Here's what I did today.....

 

Nice welding Frank!

She's gonna be a beast when she's done.

 

Thanks.....

All four tubes are now in the DS header and it is completely welded..... It just needs a collector put on it now...... But after I welded the tubes to the inside of the flange I bollted it back up to the head and welded the outside top and bottom, then I leaft it bolted up so it could cool completely too pretvent warping.....

Here's a few pic's of todays progress.....

 

Damn man, great job!

 

Frank is a fabbin mofo! I'll take a set

 

is this the windsor engine?

 

badddassssss

 

Thanks.....

It's a 302 windsor.....

The flange didn't warp at all..... I cleaned up the weld in all the openings of the flange and the four tubes where the collector goes..... Then I fitted the collector and welded to the header..... The next thing I did was fit the turbo flange to a piece of 3" pipe, and weld it inside and out..... After welding it I bolted it the the turbine housing while still hot to prevent it from warping.....

Progress pic's.....

 

damn Frank, you are the man. is there anything you can't do? can't wait to see it done.

 

Great work Frank
