This will be a street car, and track abused. I have removed my inner fenders and braced the front end with some tubing going to the firewall. I have a ton of space, but would like to see some pics of YOUR headers in any mopper, just to help get the creative juices flowing! Thanks

The tubes for the rear cylinders go over the frame rail and back under the car to meet at the collector. They are now finished and out being coated , so I am happy to have this project behind me. 7236428-cooling&headers001.jpg (75 downloads)

I would have 1 cyl volume before the first tangent point... then its a puzzle to get them all equal length.. this is my W-9 set EDIT these tubes ended up being .1 of each other for total length... if you have room its easy 7236915-W9_4.jpg (61 downloads) Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 06/05/12 12:40 AM.
