Rolling along with my 6 conversion project and have concerns about headers that will work.
My onboard 911 cooler was modified by Richard Clewett and has a 90deg. -16 AN welded on nicely. The headers I already have are for factory 6 car, but interfere with that angle fitting. My question is to others that have done conversion which headers provide ample clearance in the oil cooler pipe area. After talking with manufacturers, non will guarantee they will work and I dont want to spend $600-800 for ones which will still interfere. Would appreciate any feedback. |

When I did my conversion, I used the same cooler set-up that you have (welded on 90 degree AN-12 fitting). I purchased some headers from John Williamson at Otto's, and they fit without any problems. When I later switched to factory heat exchangers, they also fit without problems.
Though he is gone (RIP), some of his folks may know whose he was selling back in the day. |
