HEADER UPDATE

[profaqualung]

Just a quick update, and some interest info.

Weekend before last, we took the blockhuggers - the mandrel tubing bender - and ended up with some 'extended' blockhuggers, that cleared oil filter and actually left some room to get to the plugs.

Last Tuesday I shipped them off to JetHot for some copper colored coating.

Yesterday, my son [who will be out of the country on my birthday], gave me an early bithday present. A set of ram horn headers in 2 1/2 inch - headers from an early 60's model "Fuelie" Vette. Turns out they came from a company called PARAGON REPRODUCTIONS.

So, if one wants 2 1/2 inch exhaust, and wants the convenience of rams horns, this would seem to be the way to go.

Now I am in a quandry as to whether to put the headers my son gave me on my car, or use the ones we sweated all weekend over. Then again, I could always buy another Avanti, and the problem would be solved.

The last option seems most reasonable to me. You don't want good parts going to waste...that is a logical and efficient use of resources.
