Cars had optional. Unfortunality car dual manifolds as we all know will not easily work on a truck, at least my 57.

I got to figure out a way, I have to have duals on my 53/272 and the 56 F350/272.

I don't much like the idea, but I saw a Y-block with the crossover removed. The passenger side front was blocked off with a plate. The drivers side had a huge curved pipe coming off of the front that went close to the radiator and back down under the engine.

He had flomaster 40s on it. It sounded wild for a stock engine.

I guess it was OK, but it looked like the pipe was a little close to the fuel pump.....

I will dig around. I used to have a pic of it somewhere, but that was years ago.

EDIT: Sorry...they must have been on the computer that died. I don't have them.

That is the only one I have seen done that way. I am leery of it until I see someone safely driving one like that. Maybe some sort of heat shield would help?

The one I saw (first one I was looking to buy) was done that way, but he had never run it more than a few minutes at a time in his garage. Sure sounded good though.

If you try it, give us a report. Rams heads are way to expensive and good headers are not far behind.

I know a guy with all the equipment for bending the pipes. He has a stockpile of pipe that he bought with it too. He works with dad. In fact, he has my 9" (gotta go pick it up).

I may have to go with an electric fuel pump, which isn`t a bad idea.

I wish kevin would pop back in with the "other brand" headers. I doubt it worked or he would have said something though.

EDIT: I know that Red's and Sanderson are the headers everyone mentions here. Speedway motors has some as well. They have two styles

Chassis:

Fender well:

They come plain and coated. No clue of fit or quality though.
