DAKOTA HEADERS IN AN A BODY Im going for it

You guys are all whistling Dixie thinking they'll work. Read post #20 from SydCuda. Sharpie said he measured his car from between the shock towers and it measured 28". He also measured how wide the engine was with the Dakota headers installed and it was 31". Where you gonna put that other 3 inches??? Just look at the picture where Strokerscamp showed stock manifolds fitting and you'll see they are super close. I know for fact the Dakota shorty headers stick out a bunch farther each direction than stock manifolds because I owned a 93 Dakota and installed those shorty headers on it. They took up a lot more space (stuck out farther from the engine) than the stock manifolds.

I was a little out in my recollection of measurements, 29" across shock towers as compared to 33" with headers installed, so even more of an impossibility. Sharpie's relevant post below:

Unfortunately they don't. They would be fine where they dump and everything, the only issue is that they would strike the shock towers. They measure 33" across where the shock towers are, and there's only 29" of space between them.
