Too heavy!

No, add added them but am not using and they are the hotter spot on the headers tat most needs to be covered with wrap so it will look better and be cooler if I remove them.... you know how I am about stuff like this

Finished the cutting/welding and got the 1st one wrapped...what a suck job. Once they are wrapped, the plan is to hose them down with high temp paint to help keep it all in place and to stop the nasty little fibers.

I ran across your post from 2007 discussing the possibilities of building a V12 308. The beginning of greatness that is.
So many hurtles cleared. Almost there.

I was so naive back then.....

Speaking of V12 308s....The Huston dealer's website says this car just moved to a dealer in Atlanta so if anyone want the the V12 308 experience without spending 14 years...

It is in the house. I am pretty sure I worked on this car in 1996.

The headers are wrapped.  I got pretty aggressive on the front set (on the right) and wrapped the individual tubes down as far as I could then wrapped the set as high as I could figuring less exposed surface area is better for my coils.

I still need to do the pipe the runs from the front bank, up and over the bellhousing but that should be quick, then let them dry out ( I soaked the wrap in water to keep the fibers down) before paint....so I should be able to start on the  head leaking issue.

If you worked on it before and its come back I think its a sign from God and you should just buy it

Wrapping done, The collectors are all tapered and smooth and curved which the wrap just hates...I'm really hoping that the paint sticks everything to in place a bit better....or try making aluminum covers like the factory headers had. Anyway, they are drying, on to the engine.

So it turns out that TR mount mounts are not exactly a bolt on replacement but I do think they will work without too much drama and since I already them, bought one way or the other they have to work.







Then torn into the engine a bit
