I user a top air cleaner plate from a 40 pdf/ 1/2 stacks built in and matched it to the cast base for the air cleaners to help smooth the transition of the air cleaners and Velocity stacks to the webber 44 bores.

I think this will due till I get to a Dyno one day

Maybe just a little more chamfer on the top before the Chrome stacks? I can do that....

Did you buy the header from me? is it a 4-2-1?
I sold a Pete Weber header, that was missing the stubs, to a chap in the USA 10-15 years ago. It should make good power.
Did you get it ceramic coated? Totally worth doing on that header.

I purchased the Pete Weber 4-2-1 Quite horsepower header with no muffler from a guy in OH that was included with a pack deal he got with a race car(you never know )

I have a set a of stubs but they are small and cheep but are working well on the 2.0 Djet right now. I have a set of Tangerine Stubs to match the 1 5/8 Primaries in the works but will not be ready for initial start up
These came wrapped, So I am going to run them as is.

Ceramic may be in the future...we will see how she runs
I talked to Chris at CFR (tangerine racing)a few times about this set up and he says the primaries are a shorter then his street header. I am hoping to make some good mid range and Top HP ( I see a Dyno pulling my future)

Best Regards

-Robert

Death to the cheese heads !! replaced all mine with SS socket hd screws, SO much easier to wrench.
i found it MUCH easier to bench run the motor for access to carb/ timing adjustments for a cam break in cycle. Also mede it easy to re-adjust valves and re-torque heads & exhaust (which needed it)

Mark, I did a google search for Pete Weber header and your post on the Pelican board from 2002 came up. More like 20 years ago.

Attached is your photo and a link to the post.

mine did not have the O2 bung
With this set up the Thermostat MUST be Relocated. Any one have any tips retrofitting or moving the thermostat?

I will post a pic of the pipe location later. But its safe to say the header is right next to the case, where the thermostat mounts

This sure does look NICE. Mine is clean, but no so much on the SHOW side

Nice work with the color tins too

Feeling a little under the weather today, but my cheese screws arrived for the tins, and I have a min or two to install the intakes and Webers 44 IDFs before I start to drop the 2.0 Djet in the AM...
