headers before paint . . .


earlier this summer i picked up some parts that had been sitting in a garage for some time from another hobbyist who had a change in plans and project priorities this header was part of that "lot" sale. . . dual weber 40/40 DCOE carburetors were also included in the deal as well this linkage kit . . . i am not sure that i will use the linkage kit long term but probably just for the initial install we'll see but the linkage seems a little on the lighter side when compared to this linkage from ireland engineering (stay tuned for more on that a little later) . . .

btw . . . i have had significant success with the people over at ireland engineering with the parts list for the engine rebuild . . . i am very satisfied with the quality of the parts received . . . the knowledge of the technical sales guy . . . the cost was also significant too . . . but i do think that you get what you pay for . . . and in this circumstance it is particularly true . . .

anyway, this is the "before" picture of the headers . . . i wanted to have a high heat ceramic coating but i couldn't find anything beyond a powder coating available . . . i ended up going to the local auto parts store bought 2 high heat spray cans. . . prep for paint is on the agenda for tonight . . .
