With the motor plate it gives you more wiggle room with the engine not moving around, looking good

Thanks!I have to start tacking everything together and start forming the #7 pipe.

Thats gonna be NICE! whats the master cyl from? im trying to find that style that will fit my mbm brake booster.. :yesnod:

 

[metalstorm]

I can't remember but I think it is a large bore I got from NAPA store but Wilwood sells the same MC.I believe also that a truck MC is the same on a dodge pu tk.

cool my booster and that was a power brake conversion kit to go directly to the maunal brake pedal i bought it on ebay made by mbm brakes and i think it actully uses a gm master cyl so im trying to find a more modern aluminuim master instead of the cast iron boat anchor that i have now..

 

[metalstorm]

I think the GM has a countersunk piston or something so be carefull what you get.I will look for a part # on mine.

I love building headers. Make sure that the fella who is going to weld them, back gases the header so that you dont get contamination on the backside of the weld (inside the tube) if not they will crack at the welds. Here is the set I made for my Turbo Dart.

I watched a welding video where they were doing back gas process and it sounds like a PITA to do but needed I am sure.Thanks.

I will take a picture of my set up. Its really simple. Just buy a tee and some extra hose at the welding store. I use masking tape to block off the ports. BTW your headers are looking really good!!

I had :nachos: last night if you need some back gas :fart: :lmao:
