Easiest/Cheapest way to a 4bbl 318?
I got the cost of the headers from this thread
http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=117489 where they were talking about Doug's headers that actually fit without having to manipulate a bunch of other stuff. Of course, now that I am looking for them, I don't see anything near that price range.
The Patriots and the Summit headers are cheap, but I'm guessing this would require raising the engine up to get them mounted? It's also a PS car, so they would have to clear that mess.
I tried to shoot a bit high on the costs because I knew there would be other small stuff (fuel line, breather, etc) that you mentioned.
The good news is that I know at least 1 person that has a whole lot of experience with gears and rearends. So, hopefully that won't be too bad.
