Thanks again.

I'm guessing you don't have the car in your possession yet - where you can take a picture of the headers currently on it? On the 427 model the undercar exhaust header pieces look like the same ones for the side pipe car - but I think they may be angled differently off of the head. The same may be true of the small block cars. The small block cars may use a conventional header for all I know.

This is one of those type ERA questions that the best approach is to call ERA and talk to Doug. He can probably answer it in 2 minutes.

Probably a smart move on the 5 pins and rear suspension, or at least a cost effective one. I suspect (I could be wrong) that the 289 rear may have a 3.77 differential or something like that and most of the 427 builders are not going to want something that high. Grubby re-sold his Jag rear end but it was a 427 geared model and he had a bigger audience to rely on in selling it. You might PM him to see what his change over cost him total - but I suspect with front and rear brakes, hubs, wheels and rear suspension, that it was probably still a $6,000 bill after re-sell of the Jag suspension and wheels.
