1. I know, I'm saying they are about as technologically advanced as a carbed SBC.
2. They actually have more room than you'd think! It helps not having any steering components, radiators, A/C condensers, or any of that ---- to worry about. It takes some minor trimming to some sheetmetal, but it fits fairly easily. But it does take nearly every square inch of extra room there was! |
I finished the back side of the first header this morning, it actually went pretty smoothly. Still equal length too. The flanges all line up good enough, and the headers clear everything (I think). I'll start the second header next week. Since it will collect over the transmission, the pipes will be harder to fit, but easier to design and build I'm hoping. I've used just under half of my pipe too, so I'm right on track there. I'm really scared of the exhaust, I have absolutely no clue how I'm going to do it.

Got an update, I started and got halfway finished on the last header. 75% done! Still equal length, everything's going smoothly, it just takes forever.

Unfortunately, I messed up giving the credit card number to the guys at Stahl Headers, so I may not have the materials this weekend.

Alright I got the primary for cylinder 7 all mocked up, and mostly welded. It's good, though may be tight against the trunk, we're no sure yet. I was going to do #1 today too, but I've got other stuff to do. I got it planned up with the copper tubing, but haven't started the pipe work. For now, here's the exhaust plan. For the bottom header, turn 90* towards the rear of the car, run under the cradle, then out the passenger side. The top header will turn down and head towards the passenger side of the car, then make a U-turn, and exit the driver's side cutout. Not sure where I'm going to put mufflers yet.

I finished the last primary today. Came out good, though some of the welds aren't so smooth. I also test-fitted the motor, the only primary that hit was the one I did today, it hits the trunk. I did some clearancing with the hammer and it clears great, and you can't tell from looking in the trunk.

lookin good dude... Make sure you post a vid of that thing when you get done

awesome build, headers look pure sex! |
I finished the headers today, and they look fantastic. I also got the exhaust started. Going to run true duals, with dual Spintech mufflers. The mufflers will end up being where the factory tips go, so my mufflers will serve as my exhaust tips. Not sure how I'm going to make that look good, but I'll find a way. They go up for a polished ceramic coating this week.
So here is the impossible. Long tube, tuned equal length, 180* crossover headers on a Northstar 32v V8, all inside a Pontiac Fiero with the stock trunk. The two headers are in no way attached to each other, that's why it looks like the flanges are off. I've test fitted more than a few times, they work! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...p/DSCF0179.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...p/DSCF0180.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...p/DSCF0181.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...p/DSCF0182.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...p/DSCF0183.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...p/DSCF0184.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...p/DSCF0188.jpg |

Pretty badass! I had a Fiero once that I was planning on putting a small block in, but ended up trading it for another project. Can't wait to see it done.
|
that's going to be nuts
|
nice but the car is still ugly...
|
sleeper status
|
Just a bump, about halfway done with the wiring harness. Things are going slow.

|
LOL everyone has had a Fiero...
|
nice work
|

|
It runs!
My friend started it up for the first time a couple days ago. It still needs a lot of work, and has a long way to go, but it's getting there, somehow. Login | Facebook Let me know if you can't see the video, I'll re-host it on Streetfire. |
