barb,

it is a 1975 astre 140 2.3-4 vega engine.

pat that is my son Charlie. That is the engine that we are looking for a header for. The guy that we brought it from sold us a problem. the tranny is slipping and the header is full or holes. He used a gutter drain pipe for the exhaust and a bolt to repair the hole in the gas tank. We have repaired everything but are stuck because we are having problems find a header for the thing.
if you have the old one for a pattern i can make you one. show me a photo of what you have. if you can not find one
I will do that first thing saturday. got a ice storm headed at us tomorrow. Thank you so much.

Another member awhile back posted that Sanderson will custom make header pipes for you, he said they were quite helpfull!:)
Sanderson are very pricy IMO, but if you have the extra cash they are very worth it!Quote:

I think this may be what your looking for but not sure.

Also this guy is parting out a whole vega on Ebay if you need other stuff, including headers.

So Pat makes headers. How does he form them? Does he need your car to do it, or ?
Thank you so much stovens. They look exactly like what i need. thanks guys for all the help.
A Cosworth Vega is a dual over head cam, is it not? :confused:
I would check it out 1st, to see if the exhaust ports the same.

I do remember the old Hooker header for the Vega's, even installed a couple. I think Hedman used to make them, too.... Could try contacting either company and see if just per chance there is a set laying in the warehouse somewhere.....
I usually build such strange combinations I wind up building my own headers, or changing around a tube or two on a ready made set. There's a number of different companies that sell mandrel bent tubing in various sizes and bend configurations. Cut out the length and shape pieces you need and weld them in!!! Not really that simple, but it is doable!!!!
after looking at charlies engine i think that i need to get them made. he has hugger intake. wil take pcis tomorrow after i get them off the engine.
if i told you .. would have to kill you look at my photos there a set of fords in thereQuote:
