It has a 9" with a 2.56 gear. The brakes are willwood 14" rotors and six piston calipers, it also has a parachute. It has a drive shaft shop drive shaft.

Is it just the angle or is the hose coming off the thermostat housing going to be really close to the header?

I made a new thermostat housing yesterday. Remember I'm not done with the build quite yet.

Nice to see someone taking the time to do it right.

That it the only way I roll. All of my turbo kits are purge welded with 100% argon. Some times I use solar-flux if it is after the turbo.

Josh, when people ask you what you do for a living, you should tell them that you're a well-paid plumber. Nice looking pipes! Can't wait to see it lay the smack down in Goliad.

The sugars on the backside of a stainless weld will break off of the tubes and go through the turbo kit due to the heat produced on the hot side of the kit. It's for function as much as form.

Lookin' good.

Scott Wolfes does some good work, had a set of headers done from him a few years ago and they still look great.

Sorry Tracy, I have never used PolyDyn. I've always used Wolfe when we needed headers coated.
