Wanted: Vintage Kustom Headers Stage 2

that looks like a pretty nice set! Bead blast them and paint them white…

 

Thanks, they are in pretty good shape. I just have to weld up the one collector where the pipes go in a little bit of rust. The driver side is really good shape. After what Phil said, I’m actually thinking about putting them back on the car.

 

A little teaser for 72Stage1! I do display them with my prototype vertical boss Stage2 head. I made a display stand and mount the Kustom header to the head with studs so the header is spaced out from the 2-1/8 inch ports so people can see the ports. And the production stage2 heads are on the car. Sporting the correct valve covers, breathers, and the Kennedy Bell descales I had made up.

 

That sure is pretty, maybe post a video of your engine running?

 

I could do that. I should start it up and run it for a while.
And thanks!!

 

Not a very good vid. Tried to adjust it. Oh well.
Videos do not want to load. I’m done trying. Very frustrating!

 

Here is the other head that I use for the display. The prototype heads are dedicated left and right heads only. Meaning only one end of the heads were finished off with nickel weld for alternator and then power steering pump mounting. Other end of each head has no mounting bosses.

 

interesting header gaskets. Can tell they’re Kustom brand that Kenne Bell repackaged and sold.
License plate I had made up.

 

Dude you have got to stop, my jealousy meter is pegged!

 

hahaha. Sorry!

 

Cards I had made to explain each of the parts that made up the Stage2 package. Yes I have every single part of the whole package. Pistons as well as the 4:78 gear. And a copy of the “pink slip” title that Lennie signed. I have the original title in a safe, in my climate controlled shop…
I use roach clips welded to big nuts to clip on and hold up the cards…
The cards are displayed with each part explaining them

Shoot, the pink slip turned out upside down. Can’t seem to fix it!

 

Videos work better to load to iTunes and post the link

 

^^^^ Thank you Nick!

 

Great collection of Buick history.

 

I have a ton of stuff related to the Stage2 program. Most of the letters back and forth. A ton of internal documents and such. (Thank you Denny Manner!)

 

Luckily I got about 18 pages of stuff form Denny also, great stuff.

 

Hi Guy I was over to denny matters house the other day and he came across a very early stage 2 head. he said it was 1 of four heads he had made for testing flow. It has a raised exhaust port on the bottom. making the port looking like a side ways D. Sorry did not get pictures I thank dave hemker did or contact denny.

Some pictures of pictures Denny mailed me a while back along with a nice letter.
