Building Custom Headers for Our Coyote Swapped 1973 F100: Ep 2
On this episode we're cutting and welding up some custom long-tube headers for our 1973 F100 supercharged Coyote swap. This 5.0 engine will be packing some serious boost with this Whipple blower, and those stock headers were just not cutting it! So the S2S team put Tim Moceri to work, fabbing up some of the cleanest looking custom headers you've seen on a 5.0 Coyote. Tim goes over his process, step by step on how he plans the layout of the headers and what he does to make sure he has solid strong welds on the Ticon stainless pipes he's using. These are going to sound mean and help that engine breathe! Follow along as we release weekly episodes documenting this build and others at S2S speed shop.

Excellent!! About to fab headers for my old Fairlane and trying to absorb as much as I can from KZhead. Thank you for the great content
Obviously good fab work, but your videos are incredibly well produced. Perfect ratio of timelapse to explanations and updates in-between. Keep the content up!
Thanks for the awesome feedback! We have a new episode coming every week!
Man, that's some great fab work and really well explained. More content like this please.
Thank you Graham, lots more coming brother! Every Wednesday we’ll be dropping a new video
That was incredible skill, just awesome product and presentation.
Thank you! Tim wows us every time he picks up that welding torch too!
You guys should build an Econoline 😉
This is so cool!
It's gonna get a lot cooler too once we start putting the power adders on this Coyote!
Awesome content.... I love how you show a lot of the actual fab work
Thank you so much 😀
Work of art!
Thank you!
Incredible fabrication. Great vidya!
Thank you very much! We hope you're following along with the rest of the build. We should be getting this truck started up and ripping very soon!
These look sick. I can't wait to hear how these things sound!
Make sure to subscribe because we're running the back half of the exhaust soon!
Making it look easy.
Make sure you stick around to see Tim fabbing up some Mach 1 Mustang big block headers. You'll get to see him super frustrated! lol
If anyone ever questions how much a proper restoration cost just show them this video time + Quality = perfection and cash lol
If you're going to spend the time to do something, you gotta make sure to do it right!
Awesome work and some great insights mate. Thanks for sharing!
We hope this helps you fab up some headers of your own! Thanks for the support!
Such awesome skills with that P H A T T LoFi beats...
Brilliant! Why not just weld the inside only of the plate connecting to the engine? Great channel!
Great pro work on everything! How do u weld the inside areas where the primaries go into the collector?
Could you tell me what the diameter of your tube is and what the Centerline radius of the Bend are also where you got all the product like the flange and collector. Awesome video keep up the good work
Thank you!! I would go on IG and message @Tim_Moceri. He'll be able to get you running in the right direction!
I know this is a couple years old but about how many days or hours did you have into this set of headers? Was it a typical fab job or did they take a bit longer than others? Thanks
Can't remember exactly how many hours went into them. Tim spend a lot of time in the early part of his career fabricating exhausts and headers, so this is his bread and butter. But the challenge was getting as close to equal length primaries as possible, while working with a motor inside a frame that it really shouldn't be in. It's just a lot of time and patience!
Do you have any tips for q beginner tig welder?
We're going to be putting out a "How to weld series" soon!
I understood most of it but can’t see how the collector will get welded all the way around each tube. No room to get the welder in there lol
Let her rip
Its not custom if the cabs not on
That doesn't really make sense
