| I will probably be buying the Reds headers and modifying them for turbos, but for now, while I am putting this thing together, I have another running 292 to stick in the car to get it going. What kind of headers are out there, for a reasonable price, for the Y in a car? I know Patriot makes a decent set, but they only list them for a truck. Will the fenderwell exit Patriots for 53-56 truck work in a `57 Custom without a lot of drama? If it turns into too much of a pain, I may just use the stock dual exhaust manifolds I have on it. This one wont be very mean, maybe an Isky cam, Demon carb, MSD distrib, stuff like that. If I cant find new headers, anybody out there got any used passenger car fenderwell exit headers they want to part with?

| Speedway has a set of truck fenderwells listed that look just like the set that I have, the ones that you looked at when you were by the other day. The only other source is Jerry Christinson, his are far superior to Red's, but at $690 a set they should be.

| James: Jerry Christenson's headers are probably the best available, not withstanding their cost. However, in the latest issue #85, of YBM, he writes about bringing out a new version that should be about as effective, but less labor intensive to build. He is looking for customer input on this idea, so you should probably contact him.
