I finally started to work on my Corvette swap after about six years of doing other things , moving . ect. Could not find a set of hedders that will fit my car so I will make my own outta Stainless. What a pain in the *** and $$$ , now I see why they want 2 grand or more to make a custom set of hedders. I got one almost done today after workin on it all week. just gotta weld on the collector tomorrow. Then start on the one for the drivers side.

 

Got the collector welded on today , had to use the Mig looked terrible had my Son go over it with the Tig and that looked much better . Then ground it down and quicky polish I'm happy with the way it turned out.

 

I finally got the drivers side hedder done except fpr welding on the collector. Ran out of Argon and I will have to wait till Monday to get it filled , this kind of **** always happens on Friday . I bolted them in and they fit great ! lots of clearance around the steering box ,clutch cross shaft , and the Idler arm. (check out the pics ) Install couldn't be easier just pull off the plug wires slide hedder under car and reach down from the top and slide it into place on the passenger side. Its a little harder on the drivers side pull plug wires and the cross shaft , slide hedder under car and position the front end up about half way and then reach down from the top and slide it into position. I didn't even have to jack up the car . I will never buy a set of junk hookers again !

 

They are finally done ! The collectors are on along with the O2 sensor bungs and V-band clamps. Polished them up a little better and they look every bit as good as something from Stainless Works, not bad for my first set of Hedders. Stan

 

Very nice! I made the headers for my Nova Wagon, but now need to make a 2" set since I got the bigger motor. I will also be making a set for my 77 Vette when I start doing the LS swap on it.
