Re: Just got new headers and don't fit!!!
Hey Dadsbrew,that`s great info.I remember first seeing the Cyclones and scratching my head wondering why they were going out of their way to come up with something so different.After giving some thought,it all made sense.I know the vehicle makers make minor changes that make it necessary for header companies to keep up.A different header for every possible design would be a custom header made or that vehicle.These headers are far from "one size fits all",yet if an application can cross over it sure makes sense.It just seems the manual applications have been made an almost lost listing.I know the world has all but gone automatic and has been that way a long time.But,these days with all the interest in building older vehicles up,nostalgia,and with the 4wd world opening their eyes to manual transmissions,I think headers designs specifically for manual would be a good move.At least for the SBC in a 67-87 10-30 K-model.the design is consistant enough with plenty of room and it`s not like there`s only a couple out there.When I look at headers that won`t work with a clutch I can`t see why a slight change wouldn`t work for both trans options.We see the quest for a header that works with manual trans all the time here.It`s a very common dilema.
