I am looking to make another custom header for my m42 swapped 2002. I currently have a M10 long tube header with a m42 flange grafted on. I have another donor m42 header with a flange to graft onto anther header, this time hopefully one that will give me more than 3 inch's of ground clearance as this is my daily driver. So...


Does anyone know if maybe a ford V8 might have similar dimensions? I would want to just use 1 passenger side header obviously. how bout maybe a 240sx? let me know if you have any ideas or a resource for research.

here's the current header:

Won't a cut-down M52 do the trick?

why bother?? just run without header for maximum performance.
