Thanks man, I have more tools and time than I have cash. I just keep working at it as funds allow.
Hopefully more to come in the fall when things cool down a little. Plan is to get the turbo in during the fall.
I have one of those cheap E-bay cast log manifolds. Looks pretty durable but there is a tone of casting flash everywhere that I have been cleaning up.
Trying to decide if I want to use shorty header or a factory cast manifold for the other side. I do not thing there will be much of a performance difference, but the cast manifold would probably hold the heat better. The shorty header would save a lot of work as it already has a v-bad flange on it, and I would not need to port match.
