Shorty Headers

junkyardhero said
the set that I made stayed 1 5/8 because the 1 7/8 was just a little too tight for my liking in the early narrow body (and my limited fab skillz), and kept the "collector" at 2.5 because of the 4spd things and stuffs. but I also wanted something that was easily serviceable.

it would be quite interesting to see a bigger tube shorty, especially on a mill that was spec'd out for upper RPM operation

Yeah, I was thinking about 1.875 shorties. In my mind, even with a 3 inch collector I can’t figure out how you’d get those bigger pipes all in one place for the collector.

Maybe on the passenger side but with the starter and steering box, plus the torsion bar down there it would be a tight ****. Tighter than if you just had 1.875 tubes that went under the chassis.
