Re: LT1 GenV swap

Hours and hours worth of cad gets me this far. Exhaust ports exactly centered on 1 3/4 tube. I chose 1 3/4 since I have lots of bands left over and the port as well, when a 1 3/4 tube is shaped like a rectangle, the same size. I'm not to crazy about the flanges I ordered and received so drew my own.





Adapters screwed into the nutserts



Just threw some tubes on it just cause.

Mann, the MDF flange is way better than a steel flange and a starter tube in said flange with the insert adapter.. this way is much much much more stable and won't fall out! So wish I had done this on the last set of headers I built!

Hope to get the driver side modeled tomorrow and maybe get started on chopping it out of tube. Still need to make another saw fixture for the u-bends
