I have a pair of factory headers for a 914/6 to sell. Do not know what to ask for them. They are in good shape. Would love to trade for new race headers

Dont trade.

They are worth 1000$ US if they are in good condition and the heating tin is solid and doesnt move around a whole bunch.

Got pics ??

Hey Brad, if they look good, lemme know, I think I would like heat in our little project.

Thanks for the tip. What race headers should I buy ?
It's Only going to be a 2.4L race motor.

Dont buy anything over 1.5 inch in diameter for race headers. To keep costs down I would probably recommend the 4cyl header guy in our "vendors" area. I posted his name/address. Then have them ceramic coated.

On second thought (Chris needs a set).. dont post the pics here.. I may want them for his project..

My email address is: brad@all914.com

I thought he only made headers for 4bangers

Unless you called him recently.. I'm pretty sure he sells/makes a 6 header. I wish I was setup to do the headers myself.

Let me know if Brad/Chris don't end up buying your HE's. I'm shopping for a set myself.

Anyone ever successfully resurrected a set of 914/6 heat exchangers?

Will do, Now I only got to find the rods for my engine
CARILLO Thats going to hurt the back side!!!!!!!!!!

Yo Brad! did you see my question a couple of posts above? Ever seen someone rebuild a set of 914/6 HEs?

Posted by: Brad Roberts Jan 1 2004, 11:06 PM

I did see it.. but I have never seen anyone successfully rebuild them. I am chatting with a certain manufacturer about doing replacement steel for the clamshells.

Brad/Chris, If your doing a 3.6 your going to have to cut and paste to get the stock HEs to work. I test fit mine to my 3.6 and it looks like it will require quite a bit of hackery. I was also curious about the sealing surfaces at the head flange, they seem too small. I figured I might have to add weld to the flange and resurface them to get a good seal. Has anyone actually put stock HEs on a 3.6???

The above stated reasons are why I was curious about other heating options. I also thought the stock diameter was too small for the 3.6 to breath properly??

If the HEs don't work out for my car, I'm going to have a real cherry set to sell!

Posted by: Brad Roberts Jan 2 2004, 12:05 PM

We are doing a 3.0 in his car.. so no worries. I would not hack up a set of stock HE's for a 3.6 however. Sell them and buy some of the steel headers. The diameter of the stock HE's is "OK" at best for a 3.6, you end up losing about 300 RPM On the very top end depending on what muffler you run, but it does take a lot of effort to make them work. I shot some pics last year of what had to be done to make them work. I think the chain housings where in the way.

JohnM,

We will take those 9146 HE's for my customers car. They are a little more dented than I like, but I think they will clean up decent. Your pics are not real clear, but as long as none of the tubes have been repaired (exhaust tubes leading into the collector) I'm willing to pay 800$ for them.

Your camera requires you to hold it pointing at the object for few seconds after it snaps the shot. It looks like you where moving the camera away pretty quickly after it took the pic.

Not the camera was the lighting
