Awhile back someone was building a set of headers that was suppose to fit our cars. Has anyone heard any update on these?
I was wondering about those as well? can't remember who was having them made? and had quite a few people interested in them on their list. maybe by dough thorley??? I can't remember wish I would have as I'm gathering parts for a V-8 swap at this time. will need to get some my self fairly soon.
Yes Jamie 69.5 works at Doug Thorley he is the man who jig up the maverick header due a search many member have bought them
Expensive at 475.00 for shorties but they do fit spoke to them directly recently but went with the 6901 hookers but I can fab and move any tubes I need so no big deal and wanted the extra from long tubes.......Brian.
I have them on my car, well worth the money. I've use other headers over the years, none were as nice as these.
Dave did you have to make any mods to make these fit. Was it an easy install? Give us your input. Thanks,
They fit right in, I think we had to left the engine a hair, and slide the drivers side up from underneath, but the other side went from the top. Some people had issues with the pitman arm being close the the header outlet, but it didn't seem to be an issue for my exhaust guy (or Craig's) One thing I did discover was, the bolts they supplied with them, were about 1/16" too long, and were bottoming out, not sucking up tight to the gaskets. But mine were an early set, and they've since fixed that issue. Overall I've very happy, and if I put a 302 in my 74, I'll buy another set. Plus Jamie was awesome to deal with, I called him a few times, and he always had the time to talk, and he's been on TV!!!
Thanks for that feedback Dave. That information will be very usefull to many of us. There is nothing more valuable than hands on experience. I will probably pick up a set for one of my Mavs. Thanks
I can say "Dittos" to everything Dave said. My car has power steering and had no problems. I used stainless steel bolts.......they will never rust.
Thanks for all the info every one has been great at this site I should have got into the mav. / comets years ago but was pre occupied with other makes, this has been by far the most fun project. have a 71 with power steering and air, its good to know what will work and what dont before you spend the money,dont have the cash to have five sets siting on a shelf to see what fits. thanks again to all.
