All 0-Dash and BWO numbered High Performance components - In effort to establish specific time lines and define the progression of development. The information will be compiled into a database for future reference and made accessible to all those interested. The study also has the potential to identify specific production dates/changes as well.

I'm especially interested in the components used on both Factory and Independent Race Cars. Trans Am, Can Am, 302, 396, 427, Cast Iron and Aluminum, Four Wheel Disc Brakes, Cross Ram and all other pre-production components.

Thanks for your interest and help

Originality / Re: Reproduction Kustom Headers on eBay

« on: November 15, 2005, 04:53:55 AM »

The flanges on the auction headers have a few problems with them. While the ends are fairly close, the flanges on Kustom built headers, as well the other manufactures that built for Chevrolet, used a “cut-out” flange design, not simply notched as the action headers are. Please refer to the article on Rob Starks Cross Ram off the "Prestige Page" below:

http://www.guinns-engineering.com/Documented%20Components.htm

In addition, the pipes appear to be only Mandrel bent, where as the second design (PN #3916383-84) Z/28 headers had a few spots that were partially cut, reformed and Heli-Arched. Also note the collector style is incorrect and length of the primary and collector tubing is off.

Unfortunately, I have not finished the Ricks Factory Header article on the "Prestige Page" that goes quite deeply into the topic. Please stay tuned and check back to the page frequently for updates to information related to the HD options

Regards - Wayne

I'd like to correspond with anyone who has "O-Dash" numberd parts. These parts will have cast-in numbers. Example: 0-310510. Also "Build Work Order" stamped assemblies such as engines, transmissions and rearends. Example: 70065-98-A. Please see examples attached. My interest is for research purposes only.

You may contact me directly @ wguinn@ptd.net

Thanks- Wayne
