I found this company while surfing the 'net. Prices seem reasonable. And they specialize in exhaust for Windsor-based setups. 180 Degree Headers for Windsor Motors

Sounds like the right course of action. Good luck with it. If I can ask, do you know how much a new set of headers is going to cost?

Looks like he used a Flintstone's version of an Edelbrock AirGap manifold. GLWTS.

Great reference.

Great point concerning the angle of the engine. Is the engine/trans supposed to be perfectly level in the chassis, or can it tilt a degree or two down towards the rear for better header clearance? And would that affect the shafts going to the rear tires?

A bra will almost certainly rub on the paint in spots. Ask me how I know. I had them on two different cars and the result was the same. A clear skin is your best bet. They have them on many new cars now, especially the high end ones like Maserati. You can even buy the stuff of ebay and do...

Nice. Blacking out the rear valence really gives it that European look.

GM has an excellent break-in additive you can pick up at the dealer for newly rebuilt engines.

Awesome!

Wow! 2" exhaust pipes. That's usually reserved for 450+cid big blocks. And 1-3/4" would be for a 408W or similar. With a 302 based engine, I would think the 1-5/8" would be your best bet.

Correct. The deck height on a 351 is @1.3" higher (9.503" vs 8.2") than a 302. So if designed for a 351, they would be lower bolted to a 302 based engine. Even an early 351 block has a 9.48" deck height.

Is there a better alternative transmission which would allow room? I'm in the planning stages, so I'm wide open to suggestions to avoid problems like this from potentially happening. I was considering a Porsche, either G50 or 996 variant. But I've seen the Audi 01E, the UN1 as well as the...

If anyone is interested in the "switch-pitch" trans and explanations, the Buick guys use them. Easy to find performance parts and people to do them. I have a 1970 Buick GS455 convertible, but I put a 200-4R trans in mine out of a 1987 Grand National.

Has anyone contacted Painless about adjusting their wiring harness to better suit a GT40 replica?

I believe each saddle tank holds @10 gallons/38 liters.

Oh wow. I always thought these were just fiberglassed on to the rear. Good to know.

Hi Chris, nice sounding combos. As far as the bottom end, I have been told that a bottom end girdle would be a very good idea and increases rigidity by about 40%. So that's in the plan. As far as the heads and cam, I have been told by several to keep the intake ports to 195 or 205 at most and...

I have a CAV GT40 MKI Std body and I'm running AVONs and love them! Frt: 225/60R/15 Rear: 295/50R/15 Looks great. This is the kind of info I was looking for. I don't think I'll be needing flares, depending on the manufacturer. Thanks again.
