It took allot of work to make these "Perfectly good flanges" They were some rather hack job flame cut from hot rolled steel with hole sizes that made no sense at all. I had to bore the ports so they would line up up with the ports in the head, then bore the flame cut stud holes and insert...

Correct, considerably different. And that does not mean all tubular exhaust at the heads are "headers" there are plenty of fabricated tubular manifolds, Ford Mustangs come to mind. Many others are out there. Yesterday I got my front driveshaft pressed together and welded, but not painted. Too...

Yes, they squish down a bunch.

The cast iron exhaust is a manifold, they are an un-tuned device to get the hot gasses out. Most Iron manifolds have no engineered intent for efficiency and are not efficient in any way. An exhaust "header" is a tube fabrication that done right enhances cylinder scavenging with the intention to...

I will buy it from you as is. Then I will swap to different tires to make the noise go away.

Some of them "NEED" special training. I expect "city drivers" for the most part. Over here in the hills of VT we are soon to get the new FWD mail trucks. 80% of the roads are gravel. 40% of the year is snow or ice with a good portion wet or real mud. Small Jeeps are the preferred vehicle. My...

The collectors for the headers arrived today, normally I build my own but they are time consuming, these are pretty nice and will serve this project well. And a little detail I decided on, I am going to make the cover for the shifter with illuminated positions. The lights on the instrument...

It would be interesting to see if they tried or did ban RHD vehicles here. If so I would quickly convert my Pajero to a lefty, heck would go with R&P also. I grew up with RHD British cars, no fear to me. My wife will need some adjusting but feels since she rides as passenger allot she is rather...

As far as I know they all came with that metal pan, mine have them as does my 72 Colt and Starions.

On many of the electric shift transmissions that the PCM controls the shift, this being when and how firm the shift is, there is a manual mode. On this Montero 3rd gen shifter the lever has the PRND that we are used to, but does not offer directly a low gear. You can see the shifter can be...

On this merry day I got more done. A bunch of cleanup done, much more to go. I have a plan for closing out the trans shifter, well more than one plan, see where that goes. I found my hiding cruise control switch, in the livingroom near my aging Carver stereo which has been asking for service...

No issue.

OK well after dark, the big white truck got here and dropped off my McMaster order of hardware, I can hang the shifters in place. These shifter are from an EVO 10.

Ahh, the cats for this are here and I ordered real nice header collectors today as well.

Too dang tired to write, to tired to clean up the area, sitting with my black cat while sipping my Makers Mark.

Not knowing where you live most all of us are required to pass OBD2 emissions testing. A custom 2.5 system is a good thing but still needs the cats and two stages of o2 sensors to keep our Gov'mt happy. The front cats are the ones the rear O2 are monitoring so they are the important ones, after...

I had only seen one other GSX previously and that was on a dealer's lot when new, that was back when one would drive to a dealer to get parts which I was doing in my '87 Starion which is the only car I have bought new, and still own, well along with a half dozen other ones. I had bought a Rabbit...

Ahh, back to the wires today, no longer warm outside, back into the teens for the high. Couldn't even get my Gen 1 snow plow to come up on power, I expect it has moisture in the fuel system still. Ran fine when above freezing, today we threw in the towel and hired a local contractor to plow...

The fuel line at the pump is easy reach but the nut will not spin on the hose. Therefore I was going at the front fitting to the tube. The tube was replaced in 2015 along with the hose and pump assy. I used antisize but that has done no good for the nut to spin on the hose. Frustrating crap...

I chose to take a break from the wires, cause well I was getting wired. Years back I bought a rear step for my Montero, but for some reason the factory mounts these centered on the rear, essentially under the spare tire and being centered prevents the use of a trailer hitch. That will not work...
