Y-pipe gone on the starboard engine, and getting everyhting cleaned up ready for paint. Hopefully if the weather cooperates I will be ready for the engines to be installed in a couple weeks.

Very nice looking upgrades on the trailer, they are all very good ideas. What brand of tool boxes are those?

I got them off of e-bay then cut them to fit the trailer.

i have a 97 420 special, that has triple blower motors that i installed last summer. i am takeing out all three motors too diamond plate the engine compartment, replace all the rubber hoses with braided hose, replace electrical fitting & all wires. basically all the rigging is getting everything new.

Man, that is going to really look nice, but WOW, what a lot of work.

I have to tell you that the 420 is my all time favorite Baja. It was huge in many ways when Baja built that baby. I have done a lot of Poker Runs where 420 showed up and they look as good as ever.

I am ready to start a winter project...but I would liketo make sure it is one that can be finished before the winter is. Has anyone on here squeezed cmi headers, or any other aftermarket header in a 29 OL. What do you think the gains would be on 496 HO's? I can't decide if this is worth the time and money or if they will even fit...but it sure would look sweet. Anybody out there do this?

Custom Touch & I have Danas on our 29 Outlaws. You are right, it is a tight fit. I'll dig up some photos or you can do a search here, in the Baja forum for "Dana."

The cmi's will be worth it just for the sound:drink: , I put them on my 25 and it made a big diff on sound but not much for perf, if any, mabye a little mid range, and i lost my capt call

Re: Winter projects for the boat, lets see em'
 

They are suppose to fit.

They do work GREAT with the 496. I have not seen any other engine package where headers make such a noticable difference. About 40 to 50 HP! I have a friend that picked up 5 MPH in a Sunsatation just with the headers and a prop change.

They are a real pain in the A$$ to put on. When I saw all the pieces that come in the kit it was enough to make the average guy send it back for a refund.

Plan to spend a couple of long weekends. But it will be worth it.

Headers installed on 30 Outlaw...
