Any more updates on these? I am thinking of trying them out on my 72 Nova twin turbo build.. just brace the turbo flange to the frame rail, to help support the weight. ill be sending the downpipes out the fenders so its not an issue..

These little cheap china headers are going to get a work out..

Nope, still sitting in a box. Im nervous about bracing straight to the frame because the engine still flexes because of the mounts, and I dont want to do solid motor mounts.

I wont be messing with mine until the spring. I might put them on the engine on the stand. I think I am going to do away with the alt bracket and mount the alt down low where the power steering is. I want my turbos up top so you can see them.

I also agree about the brackets. I will be making brackets that bolt off of the front of the heads.

Yup, just make a bracket that bolts on to the front of the heads. Simple and done! Boom

Now every tom dick and harry has the 150$ knock offs
