Help me decide what to do with my '74 2.0l. I plan on removing the aftermarket dual tip muffler I have now to go to a stock set up and rear valence. I've got both a brand new NOS Kerry Hunter header and some nice used SS heat exchangers and exhaust along with a stock valence.
Question is this, will the headers make any difference on a stock FI 2.0l to warrant the expense in making a custom muffler work or should I sell the headers and stick with heat and the SS pipes? Other than maybe a digital ignition I don't plan on doing any mods to this engine which makes me think I won't see much gain with the headers. Anybody know if headers will even get me 5+hp out of a stock 2.0? Thanks |

Last year when I installed my 2056 from McMark, I was faced with the same decision. I am running dual 40 Webers, a Mallory optical, and an MSD. I was also considering buying headers from Chris (Tangerine) when I bought the dizzy and wires, but chose to save the bucks and keep the heat. Even though I live in San Diego, it still gets cold at night in the winter, and I drive my car at night in the winter - with the top off. I'm sure his headers would give me a noticeable gain, but then again they are 4 times the price I paid for nearly new 2.0 SS's.
My $.02 cents |
