I'm working away on my '73 914 with a 283 SB Chevy. A friend of mine is building a replica GT40 from a 914, so I've been seeing quite a bit of GT40 youtube video. I am getting closer and closer to also just go ahead and "open up" the trunk floor and make the whole engine/tranny compartment open. If I do that, I would love to install a set og 180 degree headers on a Chevy, much like on the GT40. Not only is the sound fantasitc, but the scavenging and breathing advantages are great.
So, does anybody have any leads to anybody who may make or have made headers like this, I'd love to investigate further, or is it a project I'll have to take up myself? |

Troy,
YES, that is how a V-8 should sound like, maybe less mufflers, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BMJgWMCrcU |

On a 180° header, the primaries are arranged so that they are 180° from each other, and help scavenge the exhaust. This involves running primaries from one bank of cylinders to the other, resulting in a "bundle of snakes". Very complicated, but as your heard, they sound great and dramatically improve scavenging and efficiency. |

Ah Yes, I have seen the "bundle of Snakes" on the Ford GT superformance car, and factory original. And now I see the picture I see how they cross over the ports to the collectors. How the hell did they do it in the Vett? |
