[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16546366, member: 70025"] Okay, I went to talk to my fabricator after work yesterday. This was his point of view. 1. He said he could cut my header tubes and move then in order to make the header fit. However, he said I should mock up my steering to see if the Driver's side header truly fits as well. Then he said, by the time I factor in his fee for the modification to possibly both headers and then the cost of shipping (to the jet hot coater in Oklahoma) and the recoating of both my headers I will be in at just about the cost of a new set of headers. 2. His recommendation was for me to notch the frame rail. He said the amount I will have to notch it will be minimal and there should "not" be any problems. After sleeping on it I realized I do not want to spend the money to modify my current headers and then have to get them recoated. I also do not want to cut my car up any more. Therefore, I have been doing a lot of research on this and I found a company called Doug's Headers who make a set of headers to fit my application. So, I decided to go to the Doug's Header website and I pulled the trigger on a new set of headers. The good news is they were offering a 10% off holiday season sale. So, I was able to get them at the cheapest price possible. This is the fitment chart. It checks all my boxes. 65 Mustang; Check..... 351W; Check..... Fits Mustang II front suspension; Check.... Manual Transmission with hydraulic clutch; Check.... So, I'm confident in my purchase. [ATTACH=full]1679405[/ATTACH] I figured I've gone this far might as well keep rolling with the punches, so do it right...;):p:D Now to try and sell my old headers to recoup some of my money from the new headers....
