Ya they look better in person and they arent bad considering its my first time making headers and tig welding, i bought the miller d165 and wish i would have sprung the extra cash for the foot pedal control to make things alot nicer lol....
As u can tell by the welds i made the passenger side first lol

Mounting turbo and gonna start making crossovers tomorrow, this project is all starting to.come together

I'm hoping that the longblock you had in the car when you were fabbing the headers and such was a dummy longblock... there's no better way to ruin machinework than by getting welding and grinding slag down into the lifter valley or down into the oil return passages of the heads and block.

At the least you should have put on the valley cover and valvecovers... and taped over the intake ports.
