HEADERS, how to build them big fender well headers!! All ALUMINUM 588

Have you ever wondered if you could build your own exhaust header? There is no "off the shelf" Header for my car, so I decide to build it myself. Follow along and see how I did it. This header is for my ole Hot Rod, she's a 1964 Plymouth Fury that I have owned since high school... 36 years.
These same technics can be applied to any application!
Thanks for watching!

Dude !, those came out awesome. Especially being new to the tig process. Awesome work ! .. man, that B1 Single plane is a MONSTER !! 😳.. The twin Dommy TR is badass too. Really awesome build you have going there. Can't wait to hear it run. 👍

Great job Kevin, I have tried my efforts before nothing like your mad doctor skills….Wow!

The car and headers are awesome! I can plan a set with the beat of them, but my old booger welds need some work. Great job explaining materials, showing your process, and editing the video! Most don’t realize what time goes into editing. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Just watched without sound (wife watching a movie). Great job on the headers, I'll re-watch with sound as soon as possible.

That is a good wife, never let her go !!!!

I am so f’n envious! That was time consuming! Great work!

The diffuser is a good idea. Jarden used to call them an airfoil. It became the thing that all quality headers used.

Now I know how! I have a very large BR motor with automatic trans in a 63 half ton short bed pickup. There are no headers for this combination. Especially with the motor moved back a foot. Thanks for the tips and the awesome video!

Nice work. Not easy getting the snakes to route through.

If you havent I would recommend reading the posts by Calvin Elston on the Speed Talk forum. He seem to have some ideas that most find baffling. But hes one of the best exhaust guys in the US I think. What hes talking about is some 30 years of racing development that he can share now since hes retirering.
He uses Burns Stainless program for the overall system length and size. But then apply his own touch.
I think youll find it all a fascinating read.

Dude your my hero . I also am building a B1 572 bill
Mitchel aluminum block and I will make some videos too ! Your inspiration!

Boy my home made headers are so much like yours I can relate big time.I use 2 1/4" for my blown engine and formed the tube to the flange with a vise and hammer so no mine are not pretty.I can take my headers out with only removing the valve covers.I have ceramic around the master cylinder for heat.

Like the traveling willbarries sound track and of course that bad to the bone engine and car excellent job on the headers and well the everything! I would love a set of headers with a similar look for my 73 charger 440 and that B1 head, and single carb intake, just looks awesome 👍

[bigblockkings]

Awesome work on those headers! Had to subscribe. 👍

[BareRoseGarage]

Just subbed. I think this is the route I'm going to have to take to get BBF Fenderwell Headers for this '58 Ford Fairlane I'm trying to get ready for the No Name Nationals in MO. Great video, and glad I found your Channel man.

[bobbyoshomebuilt]

You got my attention, I subscribed and rang the bell, I'll be following along, wishing you well in this project, looking good!

[alexbarianos]

Great work you inspired me to build my headers thank's, B1

[JonnyMopar]

Another hit Kevin. Love it. Makes me want to build my own headers. If you ever see me do a video like it’s because you inspired me. How close to all the headers tubes have to be to each other in length? Can they be a lot different or should they be as close as possible.

[ronsmith]

Mickey Thompson once designed a "Super Scavenger" header where the headers were not designed into a single common single collector, but went into a straight line as possible with each individual header made the exact same length and extended what they may be it one inch, two inch, six inch longer or more with a lakester type pipe or tubing into one large tubing say four or five inches in diameter. It worked smoother, better flowing, unfortunately he was passed away in 1988. Richard Petty built these lakester style headers in NASCAR racing in the late 1960's and 70's.
