Inline six/fox body header?
 
I have been searching all over the interweb, does anyone offer a header for a 200 six in a Fox Body (Fairmont)? I found them for older Mustangs and Falcons, but they say tubes may need shortened to fit?

The only place I know of is clifford research, you maybe looking at a custom set of headers

Thanks. I also found a site if a guy wants to build their own oddball header or headers, www.headersbyed.com . I may try that?

Thanks Mark.

iraceitall, why would you spend the $ on a combo that is not a good choice, I am just playing the devil's advocate here

It's a combo I have, what I have accumulated has been dirt-cheap (trying my hand at a Dime Rocket) and the NHRA HP is wrong (working on that). I'm going to start with the six, and maybe move to a 302 later. I'm following some good advice from Billy Nees, and honestly, I'm a glutton and like the challenge. I have always liked messing with sixes, and oddballs at that. Shoot, I have had this car in and out of my life for the last two years while other projects have come and passed, so I take it as a sign lol...

If it sucks, then lesson learned. I'll just try something different, like the 302.

Mark, being the other Vet whose advice I weigh heavily, I understand the design flaws of the 200 here, but is there something else I am missing? Would it be better to you if the HP was corrected to 115 and not 140?

Plus, after searching and researching and probably asking enough silly noob questions to drive a veteran nuts, I figured the best thing was to just finally pick a combo and dive in! Gotta learn what this is all about somehow, right?

I'm not afraid to lose, or to fail, I'm afraid to not try and regret it later.

Certainly, but then you'd be down the same rating as the Monza I have for sale with the same size engine and a TWO bbl. carb.
