Hi all,
It looks like the top section and the bottom section of OEM heat exchanges are simply crimped at the seams. Does anyone know if it is feasible to un-crimp them, take them apart and later on re-crimp them? If so, then I'll have a go at using the spare set of heat exchangers I have (with some modifications) for the heat exchangers on my to-be-built exhaust for my 2.8L Corvair transplant. Thanks all, Dave Oz |

Thanks all, Dave Oz So how do you adapt 4 cylinder heat exchangers to a 6 cylinder Corvair engine ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
