Anybody using these headers?
Ilya pointed these out to me recently. I have a cracked manifold on the 51 that looks pretty bad. When I saw these and the price I started wondering if anybody has any experience with them. One thing I would like to know is how close to the frame they get as I am concerned about clearance for the steering column going to the Jag IFS.

Joe,
Having been thru the process of installing the Jag I would not buy any manifolds until I had the Jag installed and you are mocking up the steering column/ujoints and shafts. Mine is a SBC and no aftermarket manifolds worked. That said I think that the flathead V8 will bring the manifold/headers in closer to the centerline of the chassis than for the SBC.
