New headers for a 3.6 conversion?
I have B&B headers on my 3.6 conversion and I am a little frustrated with them. #1 - Both of the heater boxes are now rattling like crazy, sounds like the whole motor is going to deal out. #2 - With the headers design the distance between the oil line front the oil tank to the motors basically rests on top of the header. This means the rubber hoses connecting it to the tank, and to the engine are really suffering. They are bulging and clearly need replacing, but I have been unable top source new rubber bits. I have even talked with Pirtek here in town about building a custom line, but they need the tank, and everything between it and the block for several days to build something up, PITA. #3 Because of the design and where the collector is, building an exhaust is a bit of a challenge. The collector is so far back and so wide that it's just a challenge, and nothing seems to look “right” to me.
So can anyone help me source new rubbers, or a new line between the tank and the engine that will work with B&B headers? Does anyone know of headers that flow as well, but can solve some of these other issues?
It’s a 964 motor in a 1975. Thanks!
