I thought you said that you had a 340 driver's side manifold?? Why don't you use that.? A dimpled/dented header really cuts into your power. If you have a 340 manifold all you need is a 360 "special" manifold like the one I have in my 69 Barracuda. It fits perfect and there's plenty, and I mean plenty, of room for the down pipe. It kicks the exhaust out over and behind the oil filter. Don't get the 360 magnum manifold that I've seen other suggest and use. The mag truck (driver) 53006617 has the exit flange coming out real close to the floor/firewall and will introduce heat to the passenger compartment. The 360 manifolds I have exit in the middle of the large space on that side and come with an exit hole just short of 2 1/4" ( a hair over 2 3/16"). That's just about the same as the 340 manifold. No leaks, no "dragging on the ground", no retightening the header bolts and lots of room for your down pipe!!
I'm planning on going into production on these and sell them to FABO members, like me, who hate the high price of headers, hate getting their pipes dented and scraped by the street, hate the difficult installation and don't forget those "lovable" header leaks. Anyway that why I figured all this out and will start producing these (slowly). You would be first in line, but if this turns out to be popular I'll sell to he who has the money!!
If you're heavy into drag racing then you need headers but if you cruise the streets like me and you don't like choking down your engine then "This Bud's For You!"
They come sand blasted and painted with High Heat Paint!!
To make things even better, these should flow even more than the ones they tested on those magazine sites!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven't started advertising yet because I wanted to build up a stockpile of them in case I get inundated....one can hope!!! LOL
PS - I even included some pics of my car from underneath so you can see where they exit and how much room you have!!
