Don't have a motor around to test fit....but I have a set of headers that could easily weld extensions on....but will they fit bass ackwards? I can take a pic.....

Mike, I have thought about this as I too have some 911 headers laying around here. But when I look at the pics of the Bursch 914/6 setup, the pipes all go in a completley different direction (obviously). The point being if you have to do that much work to the 911 headers, you might as well build a set from scratch using the collectors and the first few inches of the head pipe.

Sell them and use the proceeds to buy real 914/6 headers.

Not worth the effort.

So they flanges are bass ackwards? I figured.....thought maybe they just too short but they would fit the other way.....bummer.

cut the flanges off...turn the tubes around and reweld the flanges on?

just run side pipes like a Corvette ...

Maybe it's worth a try by swapping sides and turning them around. The collectors would be well and truely up under the car leaving a huge distance to any muffler. But let's not let this idean die just yet.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything around to try a fit on. I would ask Otto.

I'm not sure, but I think you're gonna need to watch the shift linkage. I'm trying to visualize how the 911 boxes would end up swapped, but I don't know the parts that well. Even with the bursch headers the shift linkage is a bit close.

I agree with the sidepipes suggestion
backward sidepipes exiting by the front wheels

Didn't think of the shift linkage. But, I have been under the 911 and I think by flipping sides and turning backwards the high loop will hit the cam chain covers. That's an easy fix with a u bend from the tubing shop. There are still some issues.

What are we talking about for Bursch? $400?

I did a test fit of Triad headers on my car at the get together. They give plenty of clearance at the oil cooler feed......something the Bursch don't have ....header wrap.....The Bursch
also come with a lovely coat of black paint that neeeds to be blasted off so a decent coating will stick. They're cheep, tho.

Dave needs to do a bit of work on the flanges at the heads...a tad too fat. Other than that, nice.

Oil tanks:
Quit fuckin' around and do it right. An oil tank is more than a box for oil....baffles, de-aireation(sp?), yada...Otto's (Mikey's favorite)has adaptors....metric to AN...Pegasus too, I think.

I have a jig for the shift rod.....which reminds me, I owe one to somebody...gotta get that done.
