Re: Running a custom made dry stainless header on 4.3 i/o?
ok well this all is understandable and I appreciate your input to my ignorance. This is all new to me but im very excited and hopeful. I was reading about people changing there mani's and risers ever few years and thought it'd be better to just get rid of and save the money while doing something custom but what you all are saying makes since.
In response though I was considering making a fiberglass bonnet with slotted air inlet and exit for air in and out with electric fans to keep the bilge much cooler. Also had planned on wrapping the headers in heat wrap to keep the temps down and then a 1 way check valve into each runner with a small nozzle to inject enough water too cool down the pipes. I really like doing custom fab work and think it would be very unique. I really appreciate the input guys, also was looking at going with a thru hull setup with this idea.... I know some frown on this but the lakes im close to here in oklahoma most people run thru hull or bbc v8s in the speed boats so im use to hearing the roars and so are most.
