We design & manufacture our own header systems to complement the engine conversion

business. We started manufacturing custom headers about the same time we started manufac-

turing adapters. There was a definite need for headers that would fit the various engine

conversions. Through the years, our designs have evolved into header applications that were most

typical. Our header systems are for non-pollution control, engine converted vehicles. If your vehicle

is going to be smog legal, you will need to retain the original manifolds. Stock manifolds will work

equally as well on engine conversions.

When doing an engine swap, the exhaust system must be given consideration before finalizing

the exact engine location. If headers are going to be used, we highly recommend that you bolt the

new headers to the engine before determining the final engine location. If you don’t have the

headers on the engine while positioning the engine, there is a good chance the headers may not

fit properly.

The fenderwell headers that we manufacture are designed for a minimum amount of fenderwell

and firewall modifications. The headers can be installed with only minor trimming of the lower

fender skirting. These modifications will vary depending upon the actual engine location. On this style of headers, the driver's side

header will go under the steering assembly on Jeeps 1976 to 1986.

When using headers on a new engine conversion, you will find that the headers do not offer the accessory mounting provisions that

are found on stock manifolds. It may be necessary to fabricate special brackets for the air conditioner, power steering, and alternator

supports.

The chrome headers we offer are not show

quality, but are a commercial grade of chrome

that will protect the headers from corrosion.

The availability of the chrome headers is

becoming limited due to the availability of

chrome plating facilities on the West Coast.

The alternative to chrome is a plain non-

plated header set furnished to the customer

for his own application of finish. The header

can be painted by the consumer using a

special heat paint available in most auto parts

stores.
