Header Flanges 5VZ-I have searched

I'm not sure who all knows about my 3VZ-FE project that is finally coming to a close. I want to make custom headers just becaue I'm cheap and can do the work myself and can make headrs for cheaper than I can buy them. It's also a personal satisfaction to know that I did this engine project on my own.

So now to the question....does anyone make header flanges for the 5VZ-FE? Or can anyone make these for me? This is the only part that I have to have cut right. I'm not looking for 1 full flange for each side, I'm looking for 6 individual flanges. When headers are made this way they make a tighter seal to the engine and will not leak. Warping is not an issue.

So, does anyone know where I can get something like this or can anyone make these for me? I can make a template if so.

I guess you already thought of getting some manifolds at a boneyard and cutting them down into 6 pieces?

I think that's smart keeping them seperate, I know some people cut their header flanges to isolate them.

Mike @ ORS was using flanges cut off the stock crossovers to make his custom crossovers.

I can make them if you give me a CAD drawing of the flange or a tracing. PM me for my addy. These would be cut out on a waterjet machine.

I had thought about that and it is an option, but I'd rather go with flanges. Either way I need to get the cross-over elimnated to make clearance for my ignition and help reduce heat under the hood. Thanks for the reply and if Cebby can't get the job done for me, I'll consider going that route.

BTW, Cebby, you have mail!!
