Re: American exhaust headers

I'm not sure if it's worth anything or not. IIRC the center outlet early iron exhaust manifold is pretty high up on the engine. The outlet for the Jeep exhaust is about even with the oil pan rail (seam between the pan and block), so it is a bit lower. Might work just fine with some creative bending -- I think Mark Price is running a late Jeep 4.0L exhaust in his American and needed a sharp bend near the manifold to pipe connection. Might be a bit tighter in a Hornet/Gremlin.
