Arrgh, you guys are breakin my heart...

OK last one I promise, just a shot of these shaky lookin bassets headers.  Do many guys run these, are they sorta outdated?  In a enclosed engine area they seem like bad idea, Im guessing they got to be made of some crap 409 ss or similar to be rusting like that, seems like water inj rate etc would have to watched pretty close to keep them from feeding back into head. Why the heck wouldnt a guy just run a jacketed header and avoid the problems?  Am I a retard?

One of the guys thought the pump line angle looked weird, maybe this shot is better

Hey appologies in advance for being a board hog on these, having some compression/pic issues so I have to multi post.  Anyway have a look at these pics of the inlet area of this rig,  Glass cracks seem to be the filler/scab area that was redone after the setback. Not sure how "structural" they are.  Im gussing these bassette headers use a low water inj and run fairly hot given the heat wrap near the head tubes?  Their small od would tell me they are not waterjacketed, is that right?  Any thoughts on impeller finish and shaft scratches.  Anything you guys want to chime in with plesase do. I have many engine pump pics but dont want to go nuts.  Kinda interested in buying this thing as the rest of the rig is super straight,  just the mill pump thing looks iffy.

Hi Guys, been a lurker here for awhile, used to be a boat mech in the way back time and I am thinking about getting a new jet toy.  I found this rig, a 91 baja W 454 some mods, dart heads, headers, guys says it dynoed at 430, big whoop.  Anyway the boat is very clean aside from  this crazy pump mount.  You can tell they yanked a IO out and put this dominator on. Any input on this? anyone seen this done before?  Should I even go drive the thing and see how it runs out or say screw it, ie: nightmare in the making. They guy wants 10K.
