I'll look for a gas tank and more side pipes. Did you see the post on all the bends? You could use those to finish up your head tubes. Then all you will need is a merge collector you can weld to the muffler.

Dont worry about it David! -I am just going to UPS the rest of the steering system to you to have it inspected. Its not really something i want to mess around with.. It's not worth the risk to save a few bucks. it will be on the way tomorrow.

I thought the other 427FE head tubes were more or less complete and just needed to be welded and or fit then welded. Am i wrong? Maybe i should just buy new headers already made. Will these fit the pipes that you make or will i need to order pipes elsewhere?
Thanks
Chris

Probably best with the steering system to just send it back so we can make something work for you. Otherwise you may spend a lot of time scratching your head.

The head tubes are complete...for an original type exhaust. We haven't make those in quite some time. I should have been clearer in my description. Don't worry a bit. If you don't want them, or don't want to do all the work to put them together just send them back. No big deal. We'll find something that will work and get you on the road.
