Sometime in my speester build I'm going to need a custom welded tube exhaust. Does anyone make a manifold plate to start from? I'm thinking one plate across all intake and exhaust holes. I saw some in old "for sale" adds, but they were years back. Any ideas?

I have a good local waterjet shop, so a drawing or .DXF file would work as well.

Thanks,

Simon

I built a header, once, using a plate like that, looked like CRAP, but it didn't LEAK------With all thet noise, who would even know if it LEAKED???
When I lurned to weld better, I assembled a 4 carb, U-FAB manifold for a '51 OLDS, with rectangular tubing runners. I MUST have welded for 4 DAYS!! My friend has a Flathead V-8, with 3 Strombergs!! The middle one is FAKE, he meticulously welded a blank riser on it & it looks like a FACTORY MADE MANIFOLD!
