Anyone build headers before?

Low mount, but the 225 is taking the place of a 230 flathead on an M37. The initial attempt is going to be a glorified tubular exhaust manifold. Based upon this conversation that is unfolding, I am keeping it simple.. IF I am happy with the results, I might try again and get more complex in design. Long tubes would be nice, but not yet, and only if I have fun the first time!

Post some pictures, I’d love to see it. If you can find a set of the low mount Clifford shorties used, I’d bet it would be good starting point. They really hug the block, and tuck in really well on the early A bodies which has the least clearance to the steering box of all of the car lines.

If you are set on building something, I think that is a good idea to start with a log manifold like @mopowers which I have seen in person and they look great.

From my personal experience of modifying the stock manifold, I think pretty much no matter what you come up with will be an improvement. I will be following along.
