Early Ford inline 6 header/flange
I'm using a '63 Ford 170 cu. for a project I'm building. I need an old header or a header flange. Does anyone know where I can find one? There are suppliers for the header, but all I really need is the flange. I don't want to spend $400 and cut it up!
If anyone is able to make this flange for a reasonable cost let me know.
I'm also looking for one of the old Edelbrock multi-card adapters for the same engine.
Thanks,
Marty

Take a piece of poster board, and a ball peen hammer. Form a template against the head, and take the template to your local fabricator shop. He'll probably turn you out a perfect flange in 1/4" for about $50-$80.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Price shown is for 1/4" flange. They also offer 5/16" and 3/8". I strongly recommend the 3/8". Anything thinner will curl up like a potato chip. Also strongly recommend 1 1/2" pipes on a 170. Anything bigger will lose torque.Last edited by techinspector1; 05-18-2009 at 10:39 PM.

Please humor an old geezer (me) who never owned one of those engines.
Why couldn't a guy get an exhaust manifold gasket and use it for a pattern to make a header flange?

the center siamesed ports are not divided for 2 tubes on the gasket, that's the only obstacle I see with that

The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
