Looks great! Should make some nice power!
I wonder how much additional power can be squeezed out of Randy's headers if they were Purge welded(ss).

Your joking Right? Dude nobody purges mild steel welds.No body that knows what they are doing anyway. Its a waist of time and money.The weld is allot stronger the the tube itself.And if anybody says that they do purge mild steel.Tell them that's why they only make 1 header a week.

80$ shipping from randy to here. AND surprisingly no cost when they dropped it off
sign the paper, and they left idnt pay a cent extra

hehe gonna have to wait for those #'s its still winter, even tho my garage is heated its too cold to work on the car

I understand that no body purges mild steel. I'm just wondering if your header would make more power if it were stainless and the welds were purged? Theoritically, there will not be as much turbulance caused at the weld points because the inside of the weld would be smooth and relatively flush.
I understand that your header makes a lot of power and I'm not trying to take anything away from you in that regard. I am just curious. Would that minor difference make any significant power increase?

Of course the weld is stronger than the tube (base metal), that's how it should be for every welded joint. The mechanical properties of 1008 tubing (the mild steel material spec of what most benders use for mandrel bending) are around 50ksi ultimate and 40ksi yield. Some welders use an ER-70S rod to weld mild, it's mech properties are 72ksi/60ksi. I use a E309L rod for mild steel since it produces a nicer weld (I believe) and it's mech properties are 85ksi/62ksi. So yes the weld is stronger than the base metal, but if the tube cracks, it cracks at the edge of the weld not in the weld. Welds fail due to 1) being over stressed or 2) poor quality weld.
Now stainless tubing (304L) has mech properties around 75ksi/30ksi. When welding 304 tubing one uses an E308L rod which has mech properties very close to the E309L rod (85ksi/62ksi). So in this case the weld rod is again stronger than the base metal (304 tubing).
BTW, I know at least 4 shops (which I have the utmost respect for their welding quality) that back purge mild steel butt welds. So to each his own, I guess. To bad Engloid isn't on here anymore, he could really add some technical meat.

that block looks like the one NA-Cutie sold on ebay....?
how much you pay for that header?</TD></TR></TABLE>
yup im the one who got the engine off ebay. i was to lazy to take a pic so i posted one she had lol...
the header was 780$US (about 895CND$) shipped to my door.
