I'm gonna assume you are using the four into one style, as opposed to =
the 4-2-1.
On the 4-2-1, there should be no clearance problems at the frame, with =
only slight=20
modification needed for the mounting to the head...(some careful =
grinding with a dremel0
As for the 4-1, you may need to have the pipes bent slightly. Go to =
your neighborhood muffler shop and ask them to bend on the machine (to =
retain tubular integrity). Remember the old woodworker adage..."measure =
twice, cut (bend) once".

Subject: Header installation
Has anyone installed a header on a 1500 Spitfire? Do you have to raise =
the engine up to get the header in place? I did that but the header =
hits the frame and won't bolt tight to the head because of the lack of =
clearance.
Any help is appreciated!
John
