    235 6, want headders

     



    well, my exhaust system had some ground clearence issues and 1 time I backed it out of my tent garage, and it got hung up on the ground from heaving and setteling.. It ripped it off, and the flex pipe I had coming off of the remains of the original pipe ( did that so I did not have to mess with the manifold bolts ) and the remains bent forward and kinked.. I'v since cut the pipe open so there is no excess backpreassure, but I can't run it like that... I'v always wanted Fentons, but always been concerned with the intake manifold as the factory manifold heats the intake. I know Fenton has a kit to block the intake heater and use water heat which I like, but I also notice that the Fentons have provisions for heat tubes.. what do I get to make this work.. I want to stay with the single 1bbl carb.

    The car isn't ready for the road yet, should be by the end of the summer tho. right now all that is left is interior, a slight amount of bodywork and paint. engine, trans, brakes, lights, horn ect... all work fine. I really don't want to swap drivetrain.
