Very nice! If I install the Chevrolet over head on my 1925, will need to do the same. I really like your approach. Thanks

More to add. Heavy support at the Y pipe to prevent metal fatigue.

Very nice job. As a retired Boilermaker welder I understand the amount of grinding and polishing it takes to smooth out the weld zones. When I worked at the Nuclear power houses we had to make all our welds look like that. It's hard to see in the picture, but it appears you added a 1/4 turn "twist" to the lower header support. Little details like that make the brackets stronger and add one more little design feature to the project.. Again,very nice job .........
