it *looks* like it will clear the firewall. i'll probably end up welding on some better (read: noncrushed) ends that well better sit to the flange.

i believe the custom exhaust might say otherwise
Exactly! will not be a stock exhaust from the head back..

What model of car was that header for, a mustang? How much tweaking did you have to do? I thought about doing this and it seems to work pretty damn nice!
I know the ford guys do the B234 head conversion but do they do the 8V head too, and if so what do they use for a header?

So far I have done no mods to the header other then cut the old flanges off. I'm having Brett weld it up for me.
But I know for a fact the spacing between the runners will have to be spread out some but not much.
I was Am very pleased how well it fits in the engine bay. And Obviously a o2 bung will have to be welded on as well.
the header was originally for a Ford pinto.

Hmmm pinto, I know they have a pony stock race class so that may be a good source. Speedway motors and Esslinger have some versions.

looks like it may be some work, but I am interested to see where this goes.

Give us a undercar view of where the collector winds up at, & at what angle the ex. pipe must have to meet it
I will get a many more pictures as it progresses.
I'm very happy though with the fitment.

Word, so, Pretty much what I am thinkin is hack it off, get the furthest back runner tacked up, then fit 3, 2, and 1 accordingly.
You might have to repaint it a little when I am done.. hehe
nvm it's cut already lol..
