Wow very nice! Im was always told that headers would not flip on the magnum engines due to something with the bolt pattern. What exactly is your plan with the driver side and the merge? Do you feel this setup could be replicated on a ram? Also those the look like the mopar midelength style headers I am running? Sorry for all the questions but this is the first setup ive seen where someone flipped the headers which is what I have wanted to do from the beginning. Any more info...fuel system tuning etc...?

Looking good. I found that the build was the small part of the job... Keeping it running to my liking is a whole other story.

This is something I am going to follow as I am also building a turbo Dakota. How much more difficult do you think its going to be with a big block in there instead of the small block?
Thanks

i don't know but if you noticed i took the inner fender out but i plan on treming it and put back in,u could go to bigblockdakota.com and look at that dakota it has a 440 in it he plans on puting on turbos.i am waiting on my pipe for the wg and be back working on the truck,a big block with twins would be nice to see,what year truck do u have?if i do a block i plan on 96 up they seem to have a little more room to me. |
