John- I had an amazing check book and have average skills. My builder, Michael LaBrecque (LaBrecque AutoCraft, East Windsor CT) put those headers together. I engineered most of the car though as self-anointed engineer. Mike did the welding. Funny you noticed the Camry exhaust pipe that dips below the rear suspension. I thought it was only I who saw things like that. You had the courage to mention it! Alas I am not alone. Danny Plotkin From: John Grady [mailto:jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] makes one immediately think maybe j/k exhaust is a far easier trip , on F /G 405 F had something like J/K but apparently no exhaust heat , just water . Either none or water works for me , J/K probably fits F , blank off heat , 405 F exhaust so rare I am sure no one has seen j/k exhaust next to it , to see what changed . “ probably” just the exhaust heat aspect , if they had 405 casting patterns already ,from 1960 , would not start from scratch for only a very few cars . Similarly max HP 61/62 with short rams and big exhaust , we know little detail of them . I have a 62 405 short ram , has heat , might be J K exhaust ; don’t know what PO did . Put together in early 90’s I think . Manifold visually looks like J ( from memory ) . I wonder what that Big Red factory 405 62 had for exhaust ? vaguely remember water heat on that ? but did not pay attention to exhaust You have saved me a huge hassle with this post , on the headers , thank you . You have amazing patience and skill to do that ! Although plymouth is swb … may not be same issues everywhere nice work … FYI , I put a 392 in F , in process , ( long process— as in move master cylinder to other side of column) we used those after market block hugger stainless headers ( nice pieces , cheap on ebay ) but decided to go under steering ,under the frame all the way , as dump is straight down, right near tie rod . No way to fit 90 bend there above steering —- I see you are on top . i have done that before ( exhaust under frame ) to get large pipes , often wonder about the factory fixation of getting pipes way up higher than rear axle ., that is what sets real ground clearance . I wonder about 68-9 TNT 440 HP / six pack exhaust too , they are now reproduced , but unsure where outlet is / works in 300 . Huge step up over stock 300 exhaust , really lame log manifold Ever notice Toyotas (? Camry) going down the road — rear exhaust pipe much lower than suspension , that is extreme , sagged or in wrong ? Now who has a J/ K exhaust pair ? right … trade something good, or $
