Mine's the simple and inexpensive route too. Maybe if I had a spare slant lying around I could make my own manifold over time, but this one works fine.

The Pishta route works great up to a certain point, and is a great starting point for anyone not looking for lots and lots of horsepower, say, up to 300, or so...

After that, maybe an individual-runner header may flow enough better to make power power easier to come by.

This header was built by my partner at the time, Freddie Nielsen, a 75-year old guy who had never built a header before. He had a few obstacles, such as, he couldn't weld (had a pacemaker,) and so had to adhesive tape the small pieces together, and then take that to a weld shop to have it tack-welded for final fitment. Once satisfied, he took that to a T.I.G. welder for final welds. Then, it was ceramic-coated, inside and out. Turned out OK, I think, for a first effort. Here are some photos:

Thanks, Aaron! That has your trademark, "el-sano" appearance, for sure!

I took my car to the strip for a shakedown run or two (FINALLY!) about a month ago, and ran an 8.80 eighth-mile time (that's a 13.70 quarter, it says here...) I was happy with that, seeing as how I was only running ten pounds of boost and was carrying a 200-pound passenger. More boost, later, for sure!

Here's the car, loaded up and ready for the 60-mie trek to Centerville Dragway,

Thanks Bill ive been keeping a watch of your progress and im glad you finally got the car to the track
The valiant wont be ready till next year the block is still in prep stages and im still a couple major parts away from being ready to assemble the block. The headers are coming out nice and just the way i planned expected ill have too come up with a path for 1-2 yet theres not enough room how i had planned. But I'll come up with a path I just need to think about it. I will be limited on progress of the headers for a couple weeks its getting into the crazy next couple weeks at work but will post some progress when i make it

Amazing job! And on a Conquest?! That has to be a super tight fit under the hood. Would love to hear (and see) more about your build.

Ill have to see if i can dig up some of my older pictures and ill post a build thread on it. Hoping to have the car running this spring.
 
This is the pictures of my buddy Larry's 1988 D150 truck. The headers were inexpensive Chevy pieces that he bought off of eBay and then welded the small block Mopar flanges on
