The header is ported a bit so it lines up.. Other than that the header is stock.. The downpipe/leadpipe from the probe is requierd and can be attached to the exsuast system using clamps that you can get at any autoparts store.

they have a dohc header, corksport used to carry it, Vaughn looked @ the header design on the DOHC & has said years ago on the egroups that it was a good design, & if you want to go turbo pick up a manifold from corksport or the junkyard

yup.. For a certain year range the stock motor had a tubular header. So we snagged one and made it work.. it takes a modest amount of fabrication to pull off.
