Will those things even take a blast? I agree with wot though weld them up and learn something on them but i would say they are passed it, in a crowded engine bay you might get away with using them but those things will stand out likes dog balls in a Hseries

I got a better set of headers if you want $100 and you could bolt new collectors straight up.

would those ones listed on ebay fit on there coz the getrag gearbox pokes out alot on the right side, which is the one thats been cut... i'll take pictures and show you what i mean,

before i had a set of std v8 headers just for the first start, and the drivers side header bends towards the block and on that side the gearbox bellhousing is quiet far out.

i did cut the collectors of today but not to sure if i'll use them... not to sure if i can get a new collector for the,

neils lx pm me what type they are?

and danwa yeah they sure look like it, were pulled of the motor when i got it and i left them outside coz i thought they were #@$^%&. and i still they frOcking they are going to be. im thinking i might see if i can replace one side, as the other one is still good

not much progress happened today, just painted the block and sump. and grinded the welds in the tunnel.

well engine bay is just about finished, just need to spray the wiper motor coz i forgot about it... started mounting my coil, clutch resevoir, and ignition module on there, i attached my inner guards to the outer guards, and zomg they are orgasmic, i even sprayed the motor and sump black engine enamel, im going to re-do the rocker covers and injection covers in red. i applyed some sound deadener and stone guard to the nicely finished tunnel and subframe mod,
and i even fitted my new kick panels to the ute, she's going to be a pearler when its done

i'll post pics a little later
