Does anyone on this board fabricate or know of anyone that fabricates -6 headers with incorporated heater boxes? I am looking for a set of headers for a 3.2 Carerra motor. Tubing size should be 1-5/8". Headers should have a properly flanged heater box, preferably made from stainless.

Mark might not know it yet (don't tell him), but he will be fabricating heater boxes for MSDS headers for me and Doug the guy who runs Trackmasters Racing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) I'm doing the same thing, Perry K will have a cow and tell us we're all going to die of CO poisoning. I'm going to run a CO detector just to be safe. You can get little dot CO detectors for under $10 from Aircraft Spruce and they last 18 months. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Mine are ceramic coated as well but I suspect they'll still produce enough heat to defrost the windows. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I think Perry's point is that they are not stainless and you could get a rust hole. I'm going to try to build mine so that they can be taken apart and serviced once and a while. You also have to build them so that the box will not cut through the pipes, plus I do not want to weld onto the pipes. I'm also going to run one of those cheap CO detectors as insurance. My bet is the labour cost to figure this out all will be a lot higher than you expect. I'm imagining for a one (or two) off costs as high as the header itself or more. BTW if it was a simple, no brainer, no liability job don't you think Marty would offer it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) I'll wait till I have a running engine in my car, no time now. |
