Ace-Garageguy Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 That's one seriously wild iron casting. I'd like the hear the cursing and swearing at the foundry as the workers tried to keep the sand cores from breaking up during handling. I bet THAT'S the real reason only 10 sets were made.

Funny you should say that, just what I was thinking, what a bear it must have been to cast. Certainly a little bit different than the injection "molding" we're used to in plastic.
Mark Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 The '28 Ford sedan units don't fit the car (a set of headers was included). They were meant to be used on the engine if it were built as a display item, separate from the car. They are on the "fat" side and probably wouldn't fit too many "in scale" installations.

Maybe not the Model A. looks like there's plenty o' room in them MOPARS.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Pretty. Drool drool. Bet it's a bugger to tune spot-on though.
BubbaBrown Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 That Polar Lights 1965 Dodge I think had what you may want, and an exhaust system to go with them cut outs and all,

Funkster Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 To tell you guys, wrong. They were not fender well headers, they were a cast iron(two piece) factory made header that was only on the 413/426 cid wedges of the early 60's Dodge and plymouth's for drag racing. Yes they were on the 13.5;1 engines. These speiceal headers came up along the valve cover and then went down along the back of the engine. at that time there was a joint which bolted the bottom part on and ran along the trans. I don't know of any kit that makes them headers, only make headers that are after market. This would be a nice resin project. I think the last time I seen a set of these headers on e-bay they went for $2500.00. very rare and they are cast iron!
10thumbs Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Yep, those are the ones! Thanks Gregory! Man, how good do those headers look? Cast iron too. Michael

Force Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Don Holthaus at The Modelhaus has this 383/413 Cross Ram intake set up...Don also has Max Wedge exhaust manifolds. The Mopar Cross Ram. http://www.modelhaus.com/index.php?c=0&p=69214 And the exhaust Manifolds. 1963 http://www.modelhaus.com/index.php?c=0&p=68356 1964 http://www.modelhaus.com/index.php?c=0&p=68357 I believe the 1963 manifolds are the early low production rare Tri-Y manifolds.
