[T3] type 3 headers

[KEVIN AND CHARLOTTE REITEN]

I agree Bobby. Unless you are running ported and polished big valve heads, don't go above 1 and 3/8th. You will hurt your torque and possibly burn up your exhaust valves.  I am building a 1956cc with big valve ported heads, so I am running the A1 sidewinder exhaust in mine. Did you already get your pistons and cylinders?  If not, you may want to stick with a 1776 in your type 3 for the heat issues. Kevin
