Hi all,

I looked over the previous forums but don’t seem to be able to get a final position on the best headers to get for a 351c 2v auto with power steering. There also seems to be a few supporting keeping the current and cleaning out the current manifolds. Any direction would be great.

Second question is the exhaust system to go with the headers. Custom stainless for $2000 or a off the shelf for $1500 with x over... improve the sound and hp.

Thanks again in advance for the advice.

Hey Glen -
I'm thinking that the 67-69 Engine bay was pretty much identical.. if that is the case...
I've got a 351C in my 67, running Patriot headers (ceramic coated) bought them online from the states.
Perfect fit with no mods.
My 67 is T bar Auto with PS. (Ram style)

I actualy purchased Manual headers (as they were out of stock for the Auto ones) and these still fitted perfectly....keep away from Hooker.. they don't fit.

Hope that helps

Thanks Daz - appreciate the advice. I’ll take a look on line.

Cheers

Just wanted to check if these were the ones you got or a different variant...Patriot Exhaust Long Tube Headers Ceramic Coated 1-3/4" 2BBL 351C 1971-1973.

Again mine is a 1969 with a 351c 2v LHD, power steering and automatic.

This was front the CJ Pony Parts website.

Thanks

Glen

Hey Glen -
Probably not those ones.

These ones would be correct though.

I looked on JEGS website and I can see the ceramic ones.

The actual headers I got are these ones.
Through JEGS. (Via ebay US)

Hi Daz
I would be interested in seeing a few picks of the engine bay and fit please.

Took some when the Auto was getting upgraded also

Daz 67GTA · « **Reply #8 on:** September 29, 2020, 11:04:15 AM »

LHS and RHS - and yes, I can still remove the plugs no issues.. it's tight but not hard.
Let me know if there is a specific pic you're after.. and I'll try to get one.

Glen Mach 1 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 06, 2020, 02:16:59 PM »

Daz,

I'm assuming these will be spot on...

Opps - I think this is 4V...

One more question. Black painted finish verse ceramic coating. The difference is about double the price $1,000 verse $500... worth the extra $?

Dwayne · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2020, 10:21:59 PM »

Ceramic coated headers will last longer and not heat up your engine bay.

Glen Mach 1 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 07, 2020, 07:39:55 AM »

So I'll go with these from Summit. Now need to organize the right exhaust system.

Daz 67GTA · « **Reply #13 on:** October 27, 2020, 01:38:35 PM »

Good stuff - sorry been busy on not on the Forum for a bit. You will also need to get a drop bracket for the steering ram mount. Sorry forgot to mention that - I think they pretty cheap.

HEVEN67 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 27, 2020, 01:43:51 PM »

Cheers DAZ, its a left hooker so your options are available, mine is RHD and the only option when fitting a Clevo into a 67 and extractors is custom.

Thanks I’ll grab one....

Glen Mach 1 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 28, 2020, 08:55:42 AM »

Also has anyone used these for an exhaust change over in a 1969?

Yeah... thats gotta suck.. but at least you can see what's up front when you overtake!!

Daz 67GTA · « **Reply #18 on:** October 28, 2020, 05:39:49 PM »

Also unless your already running one.. you will need the smaller starter (they're better than the old style and turn the motor over heaps quicker). I just got a $150 one off ebay.. reduction gear/high torque I think they're called.

I also had to re-route the power steering lines.. when you get to that part I'll send some pics. I just repalced the main HP hose.. cheap as from Rock Auto and worth doing whilst your playing. Unless you get someone to make a custome one to fit neater.

ceramic headers will heat up the engine bay nearly as much as non ceramic ones will guaranteed.

remflex gaskets are the best i have found but the soft aluminum ones work well also, all the others are complete crap.

Glen Mach 1 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 08, 2020, 10:13:53 PM »

Just another question, 2.5inch or 3 inch exhaust system? Was going to do 2.5.

Thanks

Glen

Hi Glen size of the exhaust I believe is relevant to how much you have modified your engine, some make the mistake of going too big and that can lead to a loss of performance. Like choosing another carburetor, when looking for a performance exhaust system bigger is not always better.
