Thanks again for the help Joe. And that video editing turned out pretty sweet.

As for the starter. I do plan on wrapping the starter and probably that section of pipe.

Was at our Cars&Coffee this Sat. morning and someone had a badass looking (British) Vauxhaul with this license plate - CHEVETTE. Thought of yours....

Hey Romulus,

Were you out on Woodward last night (Monday 8/14)?
I was on my way home from work, and saw a red chevette with what looked like an LS swap parked near Nicky's Coney Island, IIRC.

Wasn't me. I'm not sure where that location is and my car is brown. I'm in the northern KY area.
Shoulda stopped and checked it out.

I think I thought you said you were from Michigan before, and Romulus is a city in Michigan. Woodward Dream Cruise is this weekend, so everyone is out with they toys.

There is another member on here with a red LS Chevette. I think he is from Michigan. He made a post a couple pages back.

That is my old car, I traded it a couple months ago to a guy in Grand Rapids. Hes about 18 and apparently is daily driving it. It had a h/c ls1 in it and I put a stock 5.3 in it before I sold it. That thing is very rough compared to this guys build. The chevette is coming along nicely!

Round three of Chevette headers coming soon. This setup just isn't going to cut it.



For those wondering why they are built the way they are, well that's because that's what fits. Somewhat conveniently. Here's some pictures of the area I have to work with.












I've got some work ahead of me. Hopefully this is the last set of headers I'll have to make for this car. If anyone looking to build an LS Chevette might be interested in the old headers/Y-pipe let me know. They're fine for a stock engine.

New mounts finished. Engine coming out tomorrow to finish removing the old mounts on the frame rails. Already tons more room and more importantly after the engine and headers go in for the final time I'll actually have access to the engine bolts.

Drivers side header almost finished . Just finished welding all the primaries. Going to call it a night and grind them, finish assembly tomorrow.

Here's a mockup picture after I pulled it from the car before I started welding the primaries.

I forgot to buy some V-Bands. But 1 down, 1 to go.

Lookin' GOOD!

Rainy day so I had a head start to the weekend to get started on my other header. The passenger side is proving to be quite a challenge working around the starter, trying to leave enough room to install it after the torque converter bolts are tightened. It's getting late so no more cutting and grinding tonight. Here's the progress I've made for the day.

Romulus22

Fully mocked up, ready to pull from the car. Now is the fun part of welding it all and making it go back to what it looked like in the car.

Romulus22

Finished with the new exhaust. Here's a new idle clip, more to come when it's being tuned.

What a BEAST!
