header update
So to those who were following my build.progress I figured id post an update on the plan for the headers.
I have the flanged all cut out ready to go. And I am switching to 1.75 tubing because 1.625 stainless 304 tubing ishard to find affordably.
Using the ice engine.works modeling kit which I'm ordering tonight and will get to work this week.

I see that you got the 1750 series (1.75" diameter). How many pieces total? Summit Racing's selector only wants to show 40 piece and less sets when you set the selector filter for V12 engine. I cant see a V12 header being modeled with only 40 pieces.

Looks great & just 3 more to go.
I'm sure you thought through this during the design phase, but, I'll ask anyways. With such extreme curvature, and knowing the close confines of the XJS engine bay, will this design give you adequate access to all the flange nuts once the motor is installed?

There is one bolt that will be a major bitch, but other that that they are pretty easy.
I chose the tight bends so I could keep as.much room as possible down near.the starter and oil housing.
The other headers I saw had larger bends but when I made.them up on the blocks.they were very far from equal length.
Personally I would take the tight bends over unequal length.
