Volare installed, exhaust ??
Ok, I got my Volare front end installed and really like it. The question now is what type of exhaust manifolds do some of you use? I was thinking Mustang headers (Fox body style) They're short and come out toward the back. Thanks for any help. I do hope this is not a double post, as I did a search and could not find anything, or just didn't know what to ask the search engine. :-)

what size engine are you planning to go with? i went with a 302 with a c4 and volare type front suspension and used the shorties like you have asked about and they worked good . i then went on ebay and found an in expensive H pipe ( about 30 bucks)because the local parts store couldn't come up with an exhaust pipe match . i only used the front section of the H pipe and fabbed the rest together from there. if you go with the shorties i think you will like them . i hope this helps . good luck .

yes... that's the only way to get the engine down low enough to fit thru the transmission tunnel. For that engine the pans are easy to find.... I think the Vans of that era used a rear sump... or some had a split sump also... they can also be bought from ford parts stores
