    Putting a 410W in my 66 coupe and have some questions

    Sorry for hi-jacking the thread a bit. Are you going with the #88650's or the #88660's? I bought a pair of the 88660's, for my first 351 with Jr heads, about 12 years ago, but never used them (still have them though, somewhere..). I got the #6208's instead. The Jr's have a rectangular...

    Putting a 410W in my 66 coupe and have some questions

    As I remember, the header construction job was quite time consuming. I would estimate it took close to 150 hours, from opening the Hedman box to starting the car again, plus modifying the shock towers. However, the towers were more of a “hack out and weld back not-thinking-so-much job”...

    Putting a 410W in my 66 coupe and have some questions

    Especially tube for cylinder #5 and #6 (Super Comps #6208) needed some massaging with a ball hammer for a successful transplantation (427 dart with AFR 225's). However, the flanges shrouded so much of the exhaust port, that I later on torched the towers a bit, and made my own 2" headers with...

    TKO600 install

    I've got a TKO600 in my 66. My first approach was "form before function", i.e. no cutting or modification of the body what so ever. Second approach, next year..., was "function before form", i.e. I cut the transmission tunnel etc to get correct U-joint angles. Without cutting the...

    headers question

    Forgot to mention: 88650/88660 have oval ports/flanges to the heads. Aftermarket heads today have rectangular exhaust ports. The hedmans therefore reduce flow at a quite critical point, which in my opinion really sucks (bad design). Go with, for example, JBA's that is recommended...

    headers question

    Two issues with the Hedman engine swap 88660 (long tube) on a 302: 1. They are designed for use on a 351 in a 65-66 with stock shock towers => The bends on the tubing welded to flanges are very shap/tight, which reduces flow capabilities of the heads. 2. Since the 88660's are designed for...
