We had a club member that put headers on his 62 against
others advice. He found that he had overheating problems on long
trips.

Imperials
Headers a neat on a race car, but on an Imp. I just don't see the use.We
had Many cars that ran in the 12- 14 second times that had stock cast iron
manifolds, with few mods, but with 4800-5000 lb cars the most important thing
is torque.Since that is developed at lower RPMs, the headers are of little
use.With less exhaust restriction, low speed driveability can suffer, I
learned that long ago, I installed the entire exhaust system from a 71 340
Duster, on my 65 273 Formula S Barracuda, it killed the motor under 3000 RPM,
the original exhaust was a 21/4" single. It sounded good, but it didn't run
better.I would have to say the Engineers, did their home work, and that few
changes we make, are better.Just a thought, Dave.
