SB Victor head exhaust flanges, anybody need a set?

Getting ready to run a few sets of header flanges for the SB Victor head. Anybody interested in a set?

That looks cool.

Can you make/do you have W5 flanges?
Is it possible to make a dual mounting flange?

Can you message me a price. Just kinda window shopping now but who
Knows. May be time to upgrade my 360-1’s

SDPexhaust already makes a CNC W5 flange, I think.

If enough people wanted a cheaper flange, I can have them water jet cut. Same profile, but not chamfered and pretty like milling them.

Shonfield also makes W5 header flanges

Pretty does nothing for me. I kinda like cheap and fast. lol 😂

So I tweaked the design slightly. I got the print from Edelbrock for the head, but turns out it's the print for the gasket. This is the same print that the Stainless Headers flange is made from. While the bolt hole and port locations are all correct, it uses a round port on the D shaped port. I've scanned the port and enlarged it by the wall thickness of the tube material (.070). Now the stub can be formed to the shape with an almost perfect transition to round. The port area is slightly smaller than 1-7/8" ID tubing, and slightly larger than 1-3/4" ID tubing in 16 gauge. I'm having some 304 SS flanges water jet cut this week. Will post them when I get them.

Its not listed on the site that they do.

I'm calling these good for water jet. I can make more, but need a few sets to be worth while and all need to be the same, 3/8", 1/2", etc...

I am in the market for a set in Stainless for a turbo setup.

The ones pictured are 1/2" 304 SS for a turbo application. I'm machining a set, so will sell these when done using them for mockup.

So going to turn this into my header build!

The water jet left me a nice insert piece that is the correct port shape:




I decided to make a forming tool from it. I reduced the profile by about .050" to account for the tubing diameter, and rounded the edge where it will go into the tube. Sanded and polished the edge to keep it from grabbing, drilled a hole and added a handle:






I formed the tube with the tool, slid it into the flange, and formed it again:




Repeat 8 times...

Pretty happy with the transition:




Okay, lets lay out some headers!

Very nice work

Thanks.

I have played this out about 10 times now! Got to clear a 335" front tire at full lock, steering, A-arm, coil over, let me remove valve covers, access spark plugs,....and need it to come out between the firewall and tire to mate with the turbo, all with very long primaries... The "lego's" definitely earned there money.

CJD, tell us about that Stef's oil pan...those "legos" are pretty cool. Where do you get those. Very nice work.

Sorry, just saw this. The kits are available from Summit, Jegs, Trick-tools, etc. Summit and a coupon is your friend on these!

The Stef's pan is a dry sump I had them built. The 3 scavenges are on the P-side. That fitting on the drivers, in the pic, is the turbo oil drain. I had Stef's build it because they were the only ones putting piston oilers in the pan. Got it back, and no oilers. Said they don't do that anymore. Very pissed. Put the BLP jets in the block instead.

Very nice work!

Thanks, and already changed the layout again! Couldn't fit the support bar for the coil overs with the previous setup (the piece of scrap in the pic showing location). So this is number 10 or something?!

Ended up changing the layout...again. 16 ga. 321 stainless tubing. Got all the primaries within 1/2", which is what took a ridiculous amount of time, while having good plug/flange bolt access, as well as, clear the tire at full lock and compression.

The headers are swept back to clear a brace for the coil over. Just threw this orange piece in to show where that will go:

Very nice work on those headers.. thats the one thing that helps
when make headers... knowing how to play with puzzles.. I do
like the legos

Quick update on available flanges for the Victor head.

The top flange is from Stainless Headers. It is 3/8" stainless. It is literally cut from the shape of the CAD file Edelbrock supplied for the gasket. I know it doesn't affect function, but it is quite ugly in my opinion, and the exhaust port is way too big for my application. They sell for $120 set plus shipping. I'll sell this set much cheaper, just call or email me.

The second one down is one I had made. 1/2" stainless. The port shape matches the exhaust port on the head, which is basically 1.75" tubing. I think it looks the best, but needs a slight trim around spark plug boots, as they touch the flange. This set is for sale cheap as well.

The last one is what I'm going to use on mine. I tweaked the design a little for my application. Still 1/2" stainless. Not as pretty, definitely heavier, but it's for a turbo flange.




I can make a lightened version of the bottom one, in steel or stainless, 3/8" or 1/2", but would need a few ordered or they will be pretty spendy for a single set cut.

I read somewhere they equal length is not as critical with a turbo application.
That being said , you do very nice work , Sir.
+/- 1/2 " is better than I did on my build........I have about 3/4 " difference from short to long and I know how difficult that was.
Building headers is something everyone should try once......just to understand why a quality set starts north of a thousand bucks.
