Starting my CR build!

Did you try standard block huggers before you built those? Would've thought welding an extension piece to clear the frame might be easier.

I did. I had a set of huggers, std shorties, some iron logs and long tubes to try. The long tubes were definitely a no go. All the others dumped out too close to the frame and/or foot boxes to make work without a lot of reworking. I even looked at 96-98 explorer headers that they used for the GT40 heads. I could have really only used the drivers side. The pass is different. Pretty funky looking and I think they would have hit my valve covers LOL.

I really enjoy fabricating, so I thought I’d give it a go.

Just finished the driver side. Very happy with the result.
