Hello Michael

Yes the picture is the drivers side which was completly cut apart and rewelded together, I also used 3 mandral bend "U" pipes as many additional bends were required. On the drivers side header the back 3 cylinders tuck in close to the engine block and pass behind the motor mount to the collector, the front cylinder pipe goes around the outside of the steering shaft and back. I decided to leave the welds alone rather than grind them to reduce the chances of creating a weak spot or seam.

On the passenger side you are correct. I got the engine running last night and will take some better pictures of the installation.

Lots of good information at:
