Hey there everyone... Not to ride on Simon's coatails...but... Speaking of
exhaust manifolds... What have owners of the original BOP 215 cars
(Skylark,F-85,etc.) used for exhaust??? I have been running the original
crap cast Buick jobs... I also have '64 Buick 300 (larger cast)...and I
purchased a header kit from Header's be Ed... but again that driver's side
looks to be quite the b*tch to fabricate! Has anyone purchased or
fabricated headers for these cars??? I have spoken to several shops (D+D
Fab included)...no luck! How wide/long are the Rover SD1,etc. Anyone
tried any of these... All helpful suggestions, banter, tomfoolery
appreciated... TIA
Mark in St. Louis
ps... Has anyone set-up a 215/3.5/etc. FAQ... Websites?
