Right so I waded through this thread after watching the rugby (go you good things hehe).
I have a standard pair of holden headers like the photo in Rebel 1 gallery.
Unlike the rest of you I have to scrimp and save so I can not afford a set of chevy headers for my Harrison anyway
I offered the headers up to the motor and SAMBO they dont fit. They both hit the chassis side members.
I then turned them around ala Rebel 1 suggestion and they hit the engine mount
Soo thinking what do I do
1/ mill the flange on an angle to tilt the headers inwards
2/ cut the flange off and reweld it. Not to strong on cast iron welding skills. Maybe I braze it back?
I think I will try 1 first.
Next I need to cut the large flange off the end of the header (as this is a tight fit between the starter motor and the chassis) and braze?? in a piece of tube which will curve around and underneath the car. the tube would have a flange on it to bolt up the rest of the exhaust system.
Now a question
Knowing the clearance underneath is tight could you split the system into FOUR smaller pipes at the back each with a muffler. Would this work or has the thrashing of the wantabies left me light headed.
Cheers
