I saw that episode Carl, and was really surprised…kinda went against everything I thought was needed for output. It still would ‘hurt’ to hammer-modify for a fit up.
Now for something different
- Thread starter 351CFalcon
- Start date
Have been looking for headers for the Falcon.
Best ones that "may" work were from Sanderson, however, they would still have to be slightly reworked to fit. Both sides too.
Personally, I wouldn't give a ratsazz if it lost a little power or even GAINED a little, I would still never pound a header into submission any more than I would pound a misfitting fender into place. If I could not make to fit "properly" I would rather go back to cast manifolds and if those wouldn't work, redesign whatever needed to be to make things fit so they look like they were meant to be there. Probably why my projects take so long and get so frustrating.

Does your Falcon use a Mustang ll front end?
Yes and no. It's a mixture of something. No identifying numbers or labels.
In today’s world….this looks about right for a touring car, however I believe the sheet metal may be a little ‘thin’ compared to a Kumatsu.

One of the better concept cars.
The 1954 Dodge Firearrow II is a striking concept car that showcases the innovative design and futuristic vision of the mid-20th century.
Conceived as part of a series of experimental vehicles, the Firearrow II boasts a sleek and aerodynamic profile, marked by its low-slung body, panoramic windshield, and distinctive tail fins.
The Firearrow II features a bold two-tone color scheme, contributing to its eye-catching appearance.
As a convertible, it embodies the spirit of open-road freedom, and the emphasis on aerodynamics reflects the fascination with space-age aesthetics during the era.
Underneath its stylish exterior, the Firearrow II was equipped with a V8 engine, delivering a blend of performance and sophistication.
Although not destined for mass production, this concept car played a crucial role in influencing automotive design trends of the 1950s.
The 1954 Dodge Firearrow II stands as a testament to the creative exploration and futuristic aspirations of the time.

Interesting beast…i don’t recall ever seeing this in print before, concept car. Yup that would turn heads then and still today.

Engineer Herb Adams was responsible for the Trans Am's excellent handling characteristics.
After he left Pontiac Motor Division in the early 1970's he remained a consultant for the division.
Pontiac asked him to develop and produce eight 1977 Trans Ams that could be raced on track while keeping their street characteristics.
Those eight cars made the rounds with the media and were an immediate hit.
Pontiac ended up incorporating some of Herb's modifications into what would become the 1978 WS6 suspension.
With the success of those eight cars Herb now found himself in the aftermarket accessory business.
To prove a point, Herb Adams entered this 1979 "Fire-Am" model in the 1979 24 Hrs Of Daytona.
There was no class for street-legal cars, but Herb entered anyway.
He actually DROVE his 1979 Trans Am all the way from Holly, MI down to Daytona, FL.
He found himself 65th on the grid in a field that included 14 Turbo Porsches.
After 18 grueling hours, this street-legal 1979 Trans Am, with license plates, was running 19th overall when at 155 mph the harmonic balancer broke.
At the time his street driven, street legal 1979 Trans Am dropped out, he held the highest position (19th overall) over all other U.S.-made cars on the track
