Andrew,
I am going to throw some old emails out here......
As for the 351 windsor I have the following post....
I put a set of headers from a 1988 mustang gt on my 75 with 351 windsor. I
am told the headers off of a newer mustang fit even better. They're closer
to the block. THe 88's fit my car fine.

As for the AMC 360 I have the following post from an AMC guru (he knows
everything about the AMC's)
When I had my Bricklins I used to talk a lot to a guy in Maine who used to
repro parts. His name was Tim, and he passed away quite young (30s?). I
used to help him with his AMC questions, and helped get the AMC 401 in his
car. Sent him some headers from a Gremlin/Hornet that seemed to work okay.
The Bricklin couldn't be any tighter than the Hornet V8 as per space as
this was tight! Don't remember the brand header, but they did hug the
block pretty tight, and the right rear pipe came off separately to clear
the starter.

I hope that this helps everyone. Maybe I will try to contact Tom to see if he
can remember the brand of header.

Subject: Bricklin Headers
Hello All,
I have completed a design for exhaust headers for the 74 Bricklin, AMC
360 engine. The headers use 1.5 inch stainless steel primaries with a
collector that connects directly to the stock exhaust system. I designed
the headers for my own vehicle but I thought I would inquire and find out
if anyone else out there would be interested in having a set of these
before I order production. I expect if a sufficient number of people
were interested that the price would be around $500. Obviously, there is
no commitment by responding - I'm just trying to find out if there is
sufficient interest to have more than one set made. If you think you
might like to have a set I will determine what the cost would be and let
you know.
I am also working on a design for a 75/76 with the Ford 351 engine. (
This one is proving more difficult to package.) If you would have an
interest in exhaust headers for the Ford engined Bricklin please let me
know as well.
Thanks,
