IMO it almost looks like you would have to remove the whole header, but I don't know.<br /> <br />I remember a while back in MM&FF's they stated installing eql length shorties over uneql's wasn't really worth the knuckle busting time or something similar to that. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>HungryHippo</b> <br /><small>Member # 537</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,14,19,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> equal lengths are only good for another 2-3hp and you have to tilt the motor to install them. sparkplug changes are not too bad, an extension and u-joint are all you need <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
