Can anything be done to these headers to make them fit ??

Post by 63 Nitrous Ratt Vette »

These are the Dyna-Tech headers that are supposed to fit a chassis car, I guess not my chassis car !

Can anything be done to save them ? I good a good deal on them on junk and would like to avoid paying 1200.00 + for a set of headers. It is a little hard to see but if they were about 8" more narrow in thier sweep they would be perfect.

It'll cost just about as much to modify those as it would be to have some made for your chassis, unless you do them yourself.

Yes I do, but I'm a computer nit wit, I don't know how to host pictures else where and post them. On other sites, I post them as attachements, directly from my 'puter.

There is just one. http://www.akracewaypark.com/ A little over 40 miles north of Anchorage. At one time there was one that was only open for two seasons, here in Anchorage. It became a housing developement. years ago the Air Force let the Fairbanks Racing Lions hold an event on the airstrip at Tanacross, near Delta Junction. Then at Eilson AFB, near Fairbanks, but that stopped after 9/11. In the 80s, there were several 1/8 mile events held on the Soldotna air strip (about 150 miles from Anchorage), but that was stopped after noise complaints, even though mufflers were required. There are a couple pictures of my goat on page 2 of the Memorial 2008 wheels up launches, in the tlolson site in the photo gallery. It'll be the only red GTO in the gallery. Picture #s 0117 & 0118.

Headers

I don't know how they would work but could you replace the collector's with turnout type collector and run them through the body like the turbo boys do?
