I've read that people have used Dakota manifolds on an early A with 318 or 360 with some "trimming" involved. Has anyone tried the $149 Dakota shorty headers???? I'll beat the pizz outta a $149 set of headers before I drop a grand on Doug's or TTis.
 
Do a search they're too wide and will not fit in an a body engine bay. There's a couple options for shorty headers Sanderson being one.

Not sure where you get a grand from..??

The last set off TTIs I bought were on sale,, and shipped cost just over $700..

Dougs Ceramic headers are only $627 from AutoZone, regular price, free shipping , and they have 20% off several times a year.. $517.84 with taxes and shipped..

Their reg non-ceramic Dougs header are $439,, less 20% is around $350..

Nowhere near a $grand..

Hardly makes sense to put on a "shorty" header or manifold,, when for a coupla hundred bucks more, you can have a quality, efficient header, gaining you up to 15% hp, ....

That's some of the cheapest hp you can buy..

I recently received a set of Ceramic Dougs from AutoZone, with discount.

I have a set of spitfires I'm gonna run on my car. I was asking more for other early A owners. I saw the Dakota headers on ebay and wondered if they could be modded to fit. You got a good deal on your headers with the discount, but i have seen either dougs or TTIs for over $800 + shipping.
 
The Dakotas I looked at looked pretty wide as stated, they come out quite a ways, and the driver side looks like the steering shaft would hit. It was half price day and they were stainless so I could have swooped them for about $35 but I didnt feel they were even worth that for an early A. If you want some full fenderwells (old Cyclones) I got a set.

If no one else is interested I may be interested in your Cyclone headers. (If It is possible to run them through mufflers) 65 Valiant 360 project
 
I may run them. If they go up for sale, Ill let you know.

Just run the 273 manifolds or cough up the cash for the proper headers. Anything else is a headache. Spitfires aren’t much better then manifolds.


Oops. Just noticed it was an ancient post.
