I knew he was good but he has gone over the top with this and I am very proud to say he built it. Was over today and we got more work done. Trying to make the hammers in feb. Its going to be close but I think it will make it there. Even if it does not run I think I will bring it and stare at it the hole time I am there LOL

Title: Re: Showtime Buggy Post by: theking on December 29, 2012, 11:44:42 PM the ideal length of primary tubes for this motor is 31 inches. That's supposed to get the max hp. You want them all equal length, too. I think i'm within an inch or two. Pretty hard to get them exact. We still need to get your steering squared away. :cover:
Title: Re: Re: Showtime Buggy Post by: SteeevO on December 31, 2012, 09:02:58 AM Wow those are huge!!
31" sounds really long bit it is what it is!! I don't know anythingvabout that motor Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2 Title: Re: Showtime Buggy Post by: theking on December 31, 2012, 11:29:56 AM all I know is they were sure a pita to make.

I found some pictures of some headers on the internet of one v6 and v8's i picked like 4 of them out of about 5000. It is what it is.
