99 miata motor....decisions...

here's the headers that a friend of mine tack-welded up, before giving it to a better welder to do the final TIG welds.

These are for his one-off 1MZ -> Toyota Spyder swap... has some funky bends to get around the oil filter.

damn thats some nice work, guy has talent.

it's not that hard if you take your time, and work slowly. I watched him fab them up in his shop, while I was installing some other, less-skill involved stuff on the racecar.

i was thinkin about it at work. I was thinkin should i just replace the gasket, and get the head pressure tested, and sell the motor whole. or just part it out as is. Or swap in the internals pistons - cam shaft - lifters. Only thing keeping me from swappin the internals is the fact that i just replaced the piston rings/head gasket about 2 months ago. And i dont really want to go back in there again, even tho it was easy. Or just keep it, and finnally be able to build a motor from the bottom up for turbo, which i have been wantin to do for the longest.
