Hurricane motors
I spoke with them and they make them for around $450.00

Here's a kit for $220 all you have to do is put it together

Nick , are those headers something you make
regards Bob |
Yup those pictured are now on a 3000 car.
|
Tubular Automotive in Mass.built mine,then had them ceramic coated,top notch crew.
|
We've had them make a couple of our Hot Rod exhausts. They do fantastic work.

Headers
How much are a set?
Jon |
I think the last set they made for us was in the high teens.
|
there was a couple pairs of the 391 truck exhaust manifolds on ebay for sale fairley cheap....they are a center dump type manifold that may or may not work with your frame mounts.
|
They are very compact but they toss about 100HP out the window.
|
Its not always about the horsepower........is it ??
those are nice looking headers...do they run outside the frame ?? i couldent find any of those manifolds when i did my exhaust so i modified a pair of Midstates headers to work with a set of hooker collectors and ended up with a pair of "shortie" headers for my FE and they work great and look good to.. |
There's more than enough in most Cobras anyway. The street cars used (almost) those manifolds on some early cars, later ones got bolt together headers. They sure do look the part. There are some truck and car block hugger headers available that may fit some applications too. If you can start with something that's close and modify it to fit like you did that's a great way to do it.

Found these headers on ebay #290525945916 any thoughts on these
thanks Bob |
They look nice Bob but they are 1 3/4" look somewhat deep (tall) and are probably too far back by our footboxes. If they were a mirror image that may get it closer to working.
I couldn't find a picture of my pass side one as that was smooth and easy compared to the drivers side which wiggles around throttle and steering. |
