Ryan I just purchased that book and a couple of other sbf performance books. Looking forward to reading them.

I'm starting to think that a roller cam conversion may be a good route.

Thanks Richard! I will look for it as soon as I can.

The header thing is interesting. I may rethink how I'm going to weld up my headers.

First off, nice build page Randy! Thanks for the advice also. How are the headers to install on your car with the one piece header flanges? I have heard that they are a bearcat to install when all the pipes are attached to one long header flange.

I've been scouring the internet for ideas on this build. I just can't seem to sort out the finer points of the build. I plan to run 48 IDFs and 180 degree headers. I want to run Hypereutectic pistons. I will be using reconditioned stock connecting rods with ARP studs. The crank will be...

ok! Thanks Eric.

I can't get the image to load for some reason.

Are the EZG transmissions out of the vw passat turbos similar to a 01x?

Congrats Tony! Awesome build!

Thanks Cliff! I like the less stressful idea of running IDFs.

Sounds like a tricky way to build them. I think I will go with separated flanges. Thanks for the input.

Noted!

Can a bundle of snake exhaust system be welded up using the long 4 port header flange? Or do I need to use the separated single flange per tube?

So unless I plan on full out racing or am building a blueprint correct replica the single outlet intake is fine. All good info gents! I appreciate the posts.

Doc what is the little pipe that connects to the top of the two main outlet pipes? Also what is the extra outlet above and to the right of the main collector? Excuse me if I am wording all of these parts poorly, I have zero experience with this type of cooling system.

Good to know! Thanks Jac!

A remote thermostat housing could be built and put in place where the two outlet lines merge into on pipe. I wouldn't think that would be too difficult to fabricate.

If I run IDAs would 48s be too big for my 289? It will be a very mild 289 only bored 30 over with a mild cam and aluminum heads.

That is interesting information. Thanks for the pics too! I noticed most intakes are designed for 48 ida carbs will 44 idf carbs bolt to the manifold without modification?
