      I was just notified that my headers are done and on their way! Instead of building my own headers and learning through trial and error, I decided to have GP Headers build them for me. The offer a kit that includes headers flanges, collectors, aluminum hinges, PVC elbows and self tapping screws. After you purchase a stick of PVC straight tubing, you build your PVC mock up headers the way you want them. Once you're done, you ship the mock up headers to GP and they reproduce them in the material of your choice and ship them back.

      I opted for stainless construction with merge collectors. They should be here Tuesday. Once I get them in I can finish the exhaust system and be another step closer!

      If you’re suggesting sending men with weapons of war to take my weapons of war,then I’m fairly certain that’s what’s called an act of war… and the definition of tyranny.which coincidentally is the reason for the second amendment to begin with!

      It's been a busy week! I installed the headers and they fit like a glove! So happy how they turned out. Next on the list was to make the connections from the headers to the exhaust. That's all done and the only thing left is to have thermal barrier coating applied at some point.

      I've also been chipping away at plumbing and wiring. I'm waiting for some fittings to finish the power steering lines and I think plumbing is done. Wiring is at the beginning stage. battery cables are in place and most of the EFI harness is in. Slow progress, but at least it's progress.

      awesome Herb!
      What size is the square tubing you used on the frame floor? I'm looking for inspiration for my elcamino project.

      Hey Herb,

      I’m sorry I didn’t come across this sooner! Great work and upgrades. It’s great you are keeping the weight down so much. Especially for a Chevelle. I love that you stuck with the BBC. I gave in and swapped to an LS on my project. If I would have kept my stroke down to an acceptable amount, I might have stuck with my BBC also. Your setup with the mechanical roller should zing those RPMs just fine! Your engine weight is really right in line with an LS motor.

      Your getting close! Take care and I look forward to more progress reports.

      What are the specs on your BBC? Absolutely Nasty! Cam profile, compression?
