    i really liked the 25 hours of thunderhill article.

    i took two poops while reading it.

    then i kept reading the challenge article. what a great time.

    oh, and the header for gutty was pulled out of the KING MOTORSPORTS dumpster, by splitime...not myself (as stated in the blurb) luke screwed thatup in his build thread/documentation.

    GREAT issue

    I am going to have to do some dumpster diving I guess, I need headers

    it was so smashed it wasnt a header again until we chopped it into about 50 pieces. one tube was so kinked it almost wouldnt flow anything

    It looks like I will have to build some, I can get small tubed ones easily but 1 3/4" are difficult to find cheap.

    Here's a hint: sand bending. We're at the same place with our build.

    Same here. Cannot find headers that fit our goofy swap, so I'm looking for cheap bends to make custom headers. Its hard to find mandrel bent pieces cheap. :(

    I have not read it yet, but I noticed that the 25 hours article was slightly longer than usual. Did JG finally finish one?

    Summit Racing is your friend. Anyplace that sells roundy-round stuff is good also. Cheapo generic V8 headers are under $100 on Summit, hack them up and make a pair of good un's!
