I'm working away on my '73 914 with a 283 SB Chevy. A friend of mine is building a replica GT40 from a 914, so I've been seeing quite a bit of GT40 youtube video. I am getting closer and closer to also just go ahead and "open up" the trunk floor and make the whole engine/tranny compartment open. If I do that, I would love to install a set og 180 degree headers on a Chevy, much like on the GT40. Not only is the sound fantasitc, but the scavenging and breathing advantages are great.
So, does anybody have any leads to anybody who may make or have made headers like this, I'd love to investigate further, or is it a project I'll have to take up myself? |

Headers are without question one of the hardest parts of any engine swap or project....having said that...it is not impossible to do from a kit...but if your not bald already...you will be by the time your headers are completed.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) The job is even more difficult if you want a 180 degree design....
If you believe me and want someone to build them for you....contact some of the street rod or race car chassis builders in your area...they can or know someone who can build them for you.....another thought is locate someone that specializes in custom turbo installations.....Last time I had a custom made set done it was approx. $ 1100.00 but that was a few years ago... Good Luck.... Quad... |
