So it begins....

Finally got off my ass and got the following accomplished...

* Frame stripped, initial sand blast, frame jig fabbed.
* Engine out of the frame.
* Engine stripped, cases split and initial case cleaning.

Pistons, cylinders, valve/combustion chambers look surprisingly decent...

no expert, but inside looks pretty good to me..clean tranny and lower end.....yo go girl.....:laugh:

PVC Template for the most part complete.... :blink:

Still have some required tweaks & other ideas I want to try but this should be enough to get me going...

Here Plumi... So you don't have to rotate your head.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

As can be reviewed from this perspective, right after the collector I need to bend upward further...

Sorry Omer, but me thinks she hangs a bit too low... though i could be wrong. Hard to tell without the extras.

Real nice job on the bends and result, but I would want that tucked up nice n tight, then use some heat wrap underneath like the racers do.

What!

dosent look like the pan is on it yet. might make a difference

Looking like a good start Old Man, you'll be here in NO TIME

Good Start Dave

bending pipes over tree stump eh? :laugh:

Naw, was thinking of using your old thick RANGER head.... That be about the same density as a tree stump.... ROFLMFAO!!!!!

OMR knocks on Plumi's door... Hi Plumi, Hi OMR BAM... Perfect bend... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

As mentioned, yup, have some additional tweaks such as Tek mentioned raise tighter to frame, and re-work the tail exhaust bends... I'd prefer less bend angles for flow and ease of work involved...

The exhaust risers are 32" but most likely will shorten (collector end) to 30-31". Most of the riser length dimensions I have off 3rd party 4-1 exhausts run in this range.

Still have some other ideas such as 2-2 pipes coming out on each side... Think mini Yoshi's....

Obviously, the PVC collector isn't ideal, this was only to simulate & collect all 4 pipes together and give me the mind sight of what will be required in the actual steel revision.

Still have a considerable amount of research and testing to accomplish for the designs I end up with...
