Re: Essex V6 headers (extractors?)

2003-04-07 by Don Lattimer

I contacted Rory and here is his response:

<<<Regarding the 3 Ltr metal chassis Exhaust Manifolds, yes you will

in board
by the width of the chassis tube, i.e 1.5 inch.
It is a simple operation, and can be done in situ quite easily.>>>

Now, is it worth it??
