Mile High, the Hooker 1 5/8 for early Mustang is different from the Comet / Falcon header as you apparently figured out. The only way that I have figured out to put a 1 3/4 into this chassis is to window the side panel behind the shock tower and wrap the #4 & 8 tubes around the frame. Tall deck motors are close to impossible to make anything that is functional.

Rory, lots of cool new parts for the Escort this year. Clutchless is legal for SS so I have a new GForce 5 speed sitting on the floor waiting for install. Also have a new dual disc clutch from Youngblood to test. I have a sensor on the input so I can download the clutch profile. Also a new Qucktime bellhousing with the access window, nice quality and much lighter than the Lakewook piece. I'm putting the Pinto back together also. I'm going to switch the Escort to SS/ES and the Pinto will run in SS/FS. That should give me enough bullets to make it through the season. See you in Mission.

Oh by the way, regarding the Comet headers, I guess I should have said 2.27 kilos in a 4.55 kilo sack so you Canadian guys would understand...
