Thought of you when I watched this <3

That WOULD be quite nice. If you end up making something, take a few pictures and post 'em - I'd be interested if the price was right.

~ALSO~

I was gonna say that it would also be nice if massive hadn't stopped making/selling their booster delete kit. Well, it looks like they're making/selling them again!

Fantastic! I've wondered why they haven't, it's a simple kit so the profit per setup seems like it would make them a lot.

This is why I ask, I have tig, plasma cutter, mig, you name it. I'll see what I can come up with after my car is up and running. I need to get it done sooner than later so it will start with the shorties backwards, but as soon as I have the funds for tubing and bends, I'll probably figure something out.

Going to go ahead and get the e30v8 mounts to save myself the headache. It will double purpose because anything I make, I can duplicate since most run those mounts.

You could probably pair up with e30v8 if you design the headers and have them advertised/sold on their site. I'm sure he wouldnt mind doing that.

I would bet that block huggers would work. I've been looking for some too

If only I had a tig, I would probably try to design something for Stuart and then put them on the market for all the e30 5.0 guys.

Yes they run them forward because shorties run into the firewall and steering shaft and longtubes hit the shaft also. Still havent seen anyone try block huggers but there exensive and i havent seen a cheap cl set so i havent tried.

Thered be a better market for an e30 5.0 header that didnt require removing the steering shaft to get it out.

Interesting. Is the clearance an issue only when mounting it in the original orientation? I was under the impression that most people mounted the headers backwards. The motor I have already has a good set of shorties on it.

I'm about to do the swap, so I am soaking up as much information as I can beforehand.

I see a market for a 5.0 exhaust kit.....

Hmmmmm....

[eurotrash]

Because doing the 5.0 swap requires so little work anyway, right?

Honestly the 5.0 swap is as easy as swapping an oe engine. Mounts are all fabbed for you. The pan is fabbed for you. The driveline is fabbed for you. All you gotta do is drop it in and rewire. The exhaust is a bitch to keep everything up and to snake it through if you keep mandrel bends. Ive got 2.5 -3" and it was a bitch to get it past the engine, subframe, starter, and frame.

I wanted to hate this car but its so damn outrageous that I couldn't bring myself to it.

Megasquirt is most definitely in the plans.

If you need any help in that department hit me up. I just finished my MS box the other day. Of course I now have to change some things to run the 5.0 motor, but either way hit me up if you need anything!
