QV stainless exhaust header flange interest

Speedmade · 12-09-2011, 03:22 PM

I am having a pair of 3/8" thick 304 stainless header flanges made.
I don't have a quote yet, so I don't know price. Just seeing if anyone else may be interested.

Pretty

If you kick the 3 lightening slots at 30 degrees or so (basically match the end angle)you can remove about twice as much material wihtout much change in strength I'd guess.

Finally got my flanges.

Nice!

of course now you've got no excuse for not starting the header project

That's a while off. My first priority this spring is to mate the T5 transmission and bellhousing up to the 348 block and crank.

T5 mated to a 348?

Excuse the ignorance but why would one wish to do that?

I am converting the 348 engine to front engine/rear wheel drive. Then placing in a small Italian coupe.
The classic American car philosophy. Big engine, little car. But Italian style.

This calls for a project thread!

Yep I +2 that

that will be one very interesting gearing and transaxle mod I'm thinking.

Yeah, seriously... This needs a thread. The ferrari engine certainly means that it has a spot on a ferrari site.

Is the car an Alfa GTV? I've dreamed for about three years about stuffing a 308QV engine into one.

Price dependant, but tentitivly put my name down for a set.
