I heard that, so instead we mocked like this and sent it to them (glued and screwed). Made them send the mockups back with the pipes so we knew they didn't screw up. More work but like you said if not, no way do you know you will get what you want.


The OP solved it an even better way!

my friend is a amazing fabricator he has made a ton of parts for me over the years, love the pvc idea. I cant stand paying anyone to do anything anymore. Customer service is a joke and you pay top dollar for ****ty work. Between my self and a couple close friends we can do just about anything in my shop.

What cylinder heads are you using on your new motors. Those heads in your mock up have standard Chevy exhaust port heights, hopefully your heads on your new motors don’t have raised exhaust ports .
