Another hot rod

[Flieger]

I had a feeling when the Pudge post appeared that Pudge is Flunder's nom de plume. Great story Tom.

Tom,

Next time you talk with ol' Pudge could you ask if he get me a NOS, clear Sigla windshield? From the early 70's preferably.

Be sure to share with us your impressions of driving the hotrod now that it is sorted. Thanks for the tales.

I'll buy Pudge a drink next time I see you. Now about Lake Placid.....

[Fishcop]

More Pudge please!

Has anyone ever seen Tom and Pudge in the same room at the same time??? No matter,,,,great story, great prose,,,I'm still trying to figure out who all the characters were in this play. Where have I heard the name Augenthaler before?

In case that was not verbal irony, posts 702 and 709.

Well,,,damn,,,I thought it was in some book I'd read 30 years ago!! So there are some memory cells left but they evidently are on a reduced work week!!
Thanks Max!

901.111.041.00 Exhaust gas line, left (header)
901.111.042.00 Exhaust gas line, right

Marco:

The headers are factory RSR headers with 42mm diameter, approximately 1 5/8". The headers came on the engine from ANDIAL and were still there when we got it.

Is that outside or inside diameter?

There's also another one according to Bruce Anderson's book (Porsche 911 performance handbook) on page 144:

Factory equal-length three-into-one header 42mm inside diameter for the 3.0 SCRS,
911.111.049.00 Left
911.111.050.00 Right

So, if it's the same diameter, why different part number?

Secondly, is 42mm dia suitable for small displacement like 2.2 or 2.4? Were there ever any smaller dia versions from the factory?

I'm not the engine expert, but I have ordered many race parts for them.
Pipes are measured on the inside on all of the headers that I have ordered. As far as part numbers, any minor change would cause a number change. The 74 RSR has 911 111 041 72/ 042 72 and I think they are very close to the earlier exhaust. Most engine builders that I have talked to say 1 5/8 is not necessary for a -2.4 unless it is a full race engine even then it may be questionable. I have seen 1 1/2 on smaller engines.

Do you have the part number?
