In my case, the Grem came w/a 232 3-spd and I had some motor mounts made for it (kept the 6-cyl crossmember. The one thing in my car that worries me is the utter lack of clearance between the steering (column) linkage and the stock driver-side exhaust manifold.

 

BTW, I was under the same impression so far as the part number was concerned.

Correct, they don't specifically have a listing for Gremlin when you look up Dougs Headers, but if you look up all the other header brands,, the part number for a dog leg port header is the same for Jav, Gremlin, Hornet, AMX.. SO, I took a chance that by ordering the set of Dougs headers for a Jav,, it should work in the Grem. But I will find out for sure if they work this weekend, when I stuff them in the Grem.

I ordered a set of Dougs Headers (ceramic coated #D103) last sunday night from summit, got them yesterday, Quality and design looks to be 100% great. I will be installing them this weekend, and let ya know how they fit. Caution: Those Headers on the E Bay ad are rectangle port, even though they list them for the 70's gremlin that should have dog leg ports.. Keep that in mind when you order any brand header, to make sure they are the port shape that you need.
