I went over my options this morning.  I've fretted and thought and over thought and thought again how I could make these heads work on the 63 Gal.   I had Mustang factory shorties on it when I pulled it years ago.  Problem is, I am determined to switch back to the column shifter.  It took me 5+ years to find those pieces!  Here is shorties on P heads.

This could actually be workable with massaging.  Except the collector runs right through shift linkage.

Here is the flotech headers I bought to use.  See how it dumps around the number 3, clears the shift linkage, but is going to cause steering issues. See the massaging I did on 3.

Here is the Flashshark headers.  Just ain't going to work.



Finally, my last option was just plain old factory logs.  Confirmed in serval places people have used them with p heads.  Yeah that's going to be tight... grinding fun!







Left this morning session thinking I wished I hadn't unwrapped it.  Thinking I'm just going to change out the p heads, or modify the piece of unobtatium, and just beat on and use the shorties.  Guess the bright side to that is I don't have to remodify my exhaust.   And this is why this just keeps getting put on the back burner...
