[quote=97 SS 350;5468410]SShhhhh... it's a secret...




Holy Snikees I just spilled some fist baby's

[camaro1]

are you taking money down for these yet or do you have any dates when the final versions will be for sale?

[jnoehl]

those things are sick!

[97 SS 350]

Those are kind of a 2nd prototype using the pre-bent tubes, and making a few changes. That's what the welds are for.
The final product should have a few less welds, but that is pretty much what they are going to be... the collector will probably change as well. That collector was just for fitment. The final ones will be a bit shorter.

[Black X]

Man I have been sleeping... Those look great Jared. THANK YOU! for stepping up and doing a longtube for this swap.

[Zerocool350]

like black x said. THANK YOU!

[97 SS 350]

Don't thank me yet... still have some work to do before we can say for certain when they will be ready, then we have to figure out pricing.
From the looks of things, we are still thinking around $750 uncoated.
1-3/4" 14 Gauge steel with 3/8" thick flange, and 3" collectors with O2 bungs.

PRICING!!! 750!!!! have you looked at F-Body longtubes lately? you would be hardpressed to find the same product/quality for less or even close to that price! kooks are going to run in the 850-900 range, QTP- 800, hooker - 850. not to mention these are a specialty item, not going to sell them everyday like fbody LT's. 800-900 ceramic coated longtubes are a great price

That price is more then reasonable for the product your offering.

he said uncoated bro, coated will be up to the prices you are talking about at least.

[Zerocool350]

I still think that is very reasonable price.

[AmericanMuscle]

I'm not arguing that its a good price, its a good price for what they are.

[camaro1]

are you going to make any in stainless?

[jnoehl]

oh yeah i know he said uncoated, what ever the price gets set at i'm stooked about these things! i can't wait to see some dyno comparisons between manifolds, shorties and these lt's!

No, no plans for stainless... unless someone really wanted to pay for stainless. That'd be over $1k easily.

[99 BUCKET]

So while you are eating chinese pizza, you going to do a dyno session on the headers. via, shorties vs long tube

I'm guessing thats what coating is going to cost too huh?

[97 SS 350]

Maybe.
Probably another $200 or so.

[rstaples]

[97 SS 350]

Now weare fitting all of the shrouds and getting the mounting points welded on. Should be shipping next week.

How hard are they to install??

I am trying to finish up the instructions now.
Pretty simple... remove old radiator, cut out the horizontal piece of sheet metal in the core support, drill 2 holes in the lower section of the support, move the rubber mounts from the original radiator to those new holes, and install new radiator.

If the Condenser is being used, cut the hood support latch using the new bracket piece as a guide, drill 3 holrs, bolt the new piece on, and re-install.

[tiresmokinV8]

How about the headers? Can u install them with the engine bolted in place? How about with the engine out is there enough room to install the engine a headers bolted up?

[97 SS 350]

The headers are WAAYY too tight being 1-3/4" tubes to put in or take out with the engine still bolted in.
They will have to be laid in place while the engine is lowered in. Then bolt the headers on after the engine is put down.

[99 BUCKET]

nice!
