Post by: fe66comet on December 30, 2012, 12:50:06 AM: Anyone dyno a set yet? They look awesome but how do they stack up?

Post by: My427stang on December 30, 2012, 11:17:26 AM: They sell two types, both sold on Summit. I'd love to try the first pic below, 2 inch primaries with the cross over but too lazy to take mine apart and the 6114s fit so well

The second style look a lot like 6114s, 1 3/4 inch primaries too.

I think you would gain quite a bit going to 2" primaries with the large cubic inches.

Post by: fe66comet on December 30, 2012, 03:12:47 PM: That's what I was thinking, it would scavenge quite well with 2" primaries then take it down to 3" after the collector.

Post by: fe66comet on December 30, 2012, 03:28:18 PM: Yeah they do fit stangs but better get the sawzall and BFG out LOL. I have to modify my towers to make them go I have about two inches to work with now.

Post by: 68Rcodeman on December 30, 2012, 07:46:22 PM: They look alot like my 1968 original Bellangers. The thrid tube crosses instead of the forth.

Are you putting them on a comet or a mustang? I want to use these on my 68 mustang, but I don't want to cut the factory reinforced towers

Post by: fe66comet on December 30, 2012, 09:23:39 PM: I using them on my comet, I downloaded the application sheet off Doug's site and the notes said towers have to be modified to clear #2 and #3 pipes.

The back tubes exit the inner fender about a (3X3 hole) and wrap around back to the collector area. The third tubes cross under and go to the other side. All tubes are the same lenght and bolt in with no modification to the towers. Starter comes right out and no heat around it.

Post by: fe66comet on January 03, 2013, 07:59:25 AM: Pretty slick set up but I would let it cool down before wrenching on it, a whole lot of bacon fryer there LOL.

Post by: dragnfe on January 07, 2013, 10:04:29 PM: Has anyone ran these on a 66 Fairlane?
Title: Re: Doug's CJ headers?
Post by: fe66comet on January 07, 2013, 10:37:53 PM: Not that I know of but I'll let ya know in a while, long while so don't wait on me LOL
Title: Re: Doug's CJ headers?
Post by: dragnfe on January 08, 2013, 08:55:51 AM: I think I may give them a try. Thanks
Title: Re: Doug's CJ headers?
Post by: fe66comet on January 08, 2013, 01:37:52 PM: Read the footnotes there are tower modifications involved and no PS. They are really a tight fit everywhere and the stock starter won't stand a chance.
Title: Re: Doug's CJ headers?
Post by: dragnfe on January 08, 2013, 02:41:41 PM: Thanks for the heads up. I just talked to a local guy today that has tried them and he said the same thing. He said they are a major headache. I will see if I can get some pictures.
Title: Re: Doug's CJ headers?
Post by: fe66comet on January 08, 2013, 03:24:19 PM: I would definitely like to see some pics, I am going with a power rack and mini starter so I think I can work around that the towers I am going to beef up anyhow but would like to see what it will take to get them shoe horned in.
Title: Re: Doug's CJ headers?
Post by: dragnfe on January 08, 2013, 04:01:08 PM: I will see what I can get for pictures. I am really interested in how tight they really are. I don't mind cutting my towers.
