Just got to mocking up my new 321 stainless LSX headers from Tom Nelson at http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/. He did a fantastic job, quality is amazing. These clear the early muscle cars and you have the option of locating your turbos where you'd like them as he makes the band clamped extension for the turbo mounting as required. They clear the Synister front drive I'm running, but can be located where you want to clear other arrangements. They also have been changed to clear the taller aftermarket valve covers that many want to run, in my case the beautiful carbon fiber units from John at http://www.carbonfibervalvecovers.com

I especially like how Tom got them low in the chassis which is going to allow the downpipes to run under the header and give tons of hood clearance, as well as keep the weight and heat lower in the engine compartment.

To borrow a phrase from the younger guys...

That setup is just SICK!

Sick and slick. I assume Tom made your intake as well. What is this beast going in?

Hey Jody,

That is awesome craftmanship in those pipes:thumbsup:

What about heat on the plastic covers?


Jan

Very nice Jody :)

I always enjoy seeing updates on your projects because they are ALWAYS top notch.

thanks Eric, very cool of you to say. Jan, I have a new version of the carbon fiber covers coming that should be fine, plus I'm going to do something as far as heat shielding.

Bill,

Motor and turbos support 1300-1400 hp or so, but reality says much less in street form. I do have a RaceLogic traction control I will be using that is supposed to work with big power, so I'm excited to see how it turns out.

thanks guys, should be a lot of fun when it's done.

Should be a lot of fun??? If that's not the understatement of the year! Looks killer!! I can't wait to see the car when it is completed!:thumbsup:
