Yes indeed Freddie. The new Stroker should sound killer with a big solid cam and the 11:4 compression. I have another motor to run in next week and then the 383 will be setup with the Crossram. Once the carbs are tuned, the cam is broken in and the springs are changed up to doubles, I'll install these headers and make a nice little video of it on the run stand. Likely around Mid May

Talking

That would be awesome to hear that small block sing!
I have experience with the M/T Scavengers for a few Stage One Buicks back in 80's/90's- Nothing compares to that sound running uncorked with Hi-Po V8!
So if I can muster the funds for a set for '69 Z/28 in future, will they be easy to order since you paved the way as far as the R&D for these?
Do we call and ask for the Graeme Special??

Nice
I see you had the headers set up to run oxygen sensors
The orange coating looks sweet on the headers.

Nathan was excellent to deal with and I highly recommend you call him if or when you need a set of headers made. Don't know if he made a pattern for these or one off'd them but they sure are sweet (pardon the pun).

Yes Bernhard,

I sent him a set of bungs and he welded them in. I have an Innovative 02 scanner for reading air fuel at idle and cruise so I will use it when setting up the Crossram carbs.

Uploading the video right now Freddie...

What I found really cool and had actually been forewarned about, was that the ceramic coat changes colors when you run them. They start out bright orange, go tomato red when being ran, and then they change back to orange as they cool. Now how cool is that?


Before being run...


And immediately after

And here's the run video of the new 383 with the M/T style headers. Uncorked for now...

Love these pipes.
