Brad Is it talent or am i truly krazy lol!!!

Stan your wait is over thx for the compliment buddy and welcome to MCM forums

Fellas I have a small update today I was able to re-build the heads I figured since there was so much flack about my heads when i first started them that they really need to stand out so I gutted them and built em right. Now they will have rockers, rods and springs. And now I will be able to show the car with or with out the heads. I hope you enjoy.

heres the heads before i gutted them out. I built actual exhaust tubes running thru them........

Thanks fellas for your support ( which is much appreciated believe me) .

Brad my fingers are like the fingers of a KunFu master who has honed his skill for 40+ years (lol Ive been waiting to use that one) lol... no blisters here Bro (now burnt fingers that's a different story)

Chris: thanks for the link young bro, what size did you purchase?

Well in my never ending serch to inprove my tunnel ram i added the nitrous ports this is where the actual nitrous nozzles with hook up, one on each side of the plentums (inside and out) so I started by drilling holes all the way through then i inserted small diameter tube into the holes just till the tip comes out on the inside then soldered it in place. it was then cut off and ground to the correct size.I also added two throttle linkage supports. most of it is cleaned up now and ready for paint (w)hich will happen after i get the weld beads.

here you see the holds drilled thru the plentums.

Here the smaller tubes have been soldered into place.....

Here the tubes have been cut and shaved , I noticed the metal work have a gouge in it that needed to be filled so thats why you see the blob of solder on the side. (cant use bondo or putty on brass) it will be ground down and smoothed with jewlers files.

Here the gouge has been fixed and the two throttle support brackets can be seen.

Hey fellas Ive known for a while that my right head was shorter than the left so i need to add to it. I soldered another end on and filled the gap with solder then shaped and smoothed it. now the valve covers fit just right.

here you can see the material added to the right side, i had already done some shaping.

20140608_113232_zpsakt06kpp.jpg

a lil more shaping and the top has been ground out.

20140609_215156_zps6leieokb.jpg

see the valve cover fits just right now. (man I cant wait to get some paint on these ugly parts)
