Default Re: Day 2 Vega

Worked on the car a little and fitted the Motion headers. I'm going to have to do a little tweaking, but overall they fit better than the Hooker headers. They can be installed one tube at a time with the engine bolted in place. This will be nice when it comes time for final assembly. No more having to hold the headers in place while lowering the engine in.
The steering shaft will run through the headers, so there will be no need for three steering joints and running it on the inner wheel house.
Also, I should point out that the Motion headers do not require the two rear tubes on the pass. side to run out through the wheel house, so turning radius will not be affected.

BTW, a while back the question was asked about these being real Motion headers. Looking in my V8 Vega book that Schorr wrote, there is a picture of the driver side header, not installed on the car. It's an exact match to what I have.
