Any of you guys into them?Working on one right now and wanting to run a BB mopar in it,Looking for ideas on some fenderwell type headers but not the cuda and dart style.Maybe something similar in looks to a sb chevy Patriot brand.The only pic so far and thoughts.The idea of the project came from a hamb thread about 5 years ago.The engine pic is just a random pic with the type of header I want to use.

Gassers are so cool!
Here's a link to a youtube video of an all-gasser show a few weekends ago here in SoCal. Our newest Inland Mopar Car Club member's car is the blue Polara leading off the video...

Only a diehard willys fan would notice, I would`nt know the difference, just heard of it being done. I check out the hokey a**mb 2.
I`d imagine we`ll be building custom headers for these rides.
IF you find anything that is close, that with little mods, would work, let me know.

kick *** lookin truck !
 
when I was in tech school we were building a 51 ford pu with a 383 in it. We purchased some chevy headers like the ones you posted at a swap meet. The engine came with bb mopar headers we cut the flanges off of both and welded the chevy headers to the flanges worked great. This was done in !978.
 
Sweet video thanks. Every now and then they have a gasser for sale at "Barn Fine Classics", they always catch my eye if I'm driving by.

That may be what I end up doing.Patriot makes decent fenderwell gasser type header for the chevy engine and not priced to bad at $200 for the raw steel type.

41 Willys is my dreamcar, always thought they were awesome even back when I was a kid. This is perfection in my book.
