1948 Ford F1 - Volare front - SBC - Header question
Hey there, This question is for those running a SBC with a volare front end.
What Header are you using?
Are there any exhaust systems off other trucks or cars that fit fairly close?
any help is greatly appreciated.
Looking for Junkyard parts if possible.

Thanks guys. I already have the stock manifolds and they look like poo. Knowing that the $110 manifolds fit with tight, I'm going to try to see what I can find.
What about the exhaust? Did you guys run custom down pipes? Would love chop a set off something in the yard considering I don't have anything to bend the pipes and want to try to make an exhaust myself from decent exhaust pieces I can find.

I had to look at your profile to see you are in BC, shops there must not have any competition, or you are going to the wrong shops. here a bent to fit downpipe and/or tailpipe is not considered to be a "custom" job, it's what about every muffler shop does every day, on every car that comes in and their prices have to be competitive with the price of a prebent pipe at the big box auto parts stores.

its funny you say this because from the 3 muffler shops around me, all of them will tell you to go buy the pre bent pipe out of the box, and they will install it for me because its cheaper. or they're all a bunch of lazy ________
im going to see what I can find on the local craigslist, and maybe I can find something that will work and bolt right on, and can share my findings.

Except for the used down pipes which were in very good condition, I got all my exhaust tubing from my local O'Reilly's Auto store. I think the total exhaust system cost me less than $100 including the mufflers...
