If you want to take on a simpler and small job, I could use a crossover down pipe for my 4.9L swap.

I really hate to do this but once I get done building fierofan25's headers I'm going to have to hang it up for a while, I just simply don't have the time right now to work on them. My wife and I are expecting a new baby girl in June so my free time right now needs to go towards preparing for her arrival. This is not the end! I will get back into this once things slow down a bit around here.. Thanks everyone for your support and interest in my headers! Mark
Just for the folks that missed it on oage #3.
I wanted him to do my exhaust also. I did find a local shop to do mine.
Just wondering if Mark ever got back into making these headers...? have had some interest lately on the FB groups in header setups...

Hey All! I never did get back into building headers. But I bought a house with a really nice garage where I could definitely do that type of work, the problem is I junked my 3800 and fiero cradle that I used as a build stand so unless I had a good amount of interest it wouldn't be worth it for me to start building these again since I would habe to find another engine, transmission and fiero cradle. That and I would have to charge more to make these custom sets to make it worth my time.. when I was building them before I would put countless hours into a set of headers to only make a very small profit.. So is there enough interest for me to build these things again? Let me know.. Thanks, Mark
thanks for the quick response Mark. I'm not sure how serious any of these enquiries were, but if you are still interested/willing, I can pass the information on. what kind of a price increase would you be looking at? I know that your original prices were on par with major manufacturers (which was great for customers), and I can definitely see that you were not making the volume to make money off them, so for me, an increase would be justifiable, for sure, depending on just how much, obviously, lol...

Mark, Any chance that you could cobble together a set for a 3900? Stock Fiero (or Sprint) configuration would be okay, as long as they aren't restricted. (It's the LGD/LZ9. It's the same layout as the LZ4 3500, VVT engine. NOT the same ports as the LX9 and other 3X00. heads. The manifold studs are "rotated" around the ports a few degrees from "12 and 6".)
I believe that they have similar port spacing to the 3X00, but I'm not sure.
Thanks!

I am looking at converting my 3800 from SC to turbo using the M90 (gutted with blockoff plate) and hoping to find a solution for plumbing in the turbo over the transmussion. Did your custom turbo piping work for this? I would consider buying the ZZP p-logs as a start. Do you still do this work, or if not know who does? Thanks.
I am just looking to do a mild turbo build - like 350WHP or so. Keeping the engine mostly stock - already have a VS cam, but that’s about it.
Thanks Dwayne

Adding a turbo is not real difficult IF you can mig weld. Did one a while back but on a 3.4L engine. Purchased the flanged ends that fit on the exhaust manifold, the exhaust pipe, a turbo mounting flange for the cross over then got some mandrel bends and pipe that would get the turbo location set. Did a rough setup connection and then welded the new crossover pipe together. Ran the oil feed line and bolted everything right up. The secret is to use a turbo that will quickly spool up and not hurt the top end, Be prepared to re-program the PCM by modifyimg the MAF table for better fueling. Do it right and your can make good horsepower. Do it wrong and the engine won't last. .
