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:

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

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!

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...
