My dad did the welding on the log, He's much better than I am so I had him do it since the manifold needs good welds, especially since it's cast.

I need to do a clutch job and I want to swap the tranny first. cx trans has to go. Once I do that turbo install time. I'm working on turbo stuff to fill in time while I find a trans.

I don't think it will be a half bad log manifold, you just have to grind the threads out.
I took a disc sander and beveled the edges to a 45 degree groove between them, I think that's key for these.

Frederic went the black iron pipe method for his big block truck manifold. It looked 30% more like ***, so IMO you're doing a good job.

Well I made a small gauge pod for where the CD player goes in the dash. Made it out of plexi glass and some 2" PVC, and JB weld FTW. Bored the 2" PVC with a small sanding drum on a dremel tool. The gauges fit nice and tight.
finished it off with a shot of flat black texture finish.

The motor is stock, with unknown mileage/rapeage. I'm planning on building a motor over winter. This one is in rough shape so I'm probably going to just turn the boost up till something happens. lol.
