Seem a bit overpriced.  I've used them on Jeeps and they are awesome, not sure if they will clear in an Eagle.

Probably cheaper to get a renix header and have it customized at a muffler shop. At least that's what I'm planning on.

That $$$ with shipping just about covers the 4.0 head swap and a 4.0 ceramic header.

Have nothing useful now. however the modifacation is essentially just drilling the 4 holes in a flat peice of metal. and mounting the bottom bolt on the motor tight to the block and spacing the other 3 accordingly

i was under the impression that the clifford headers were shortys?  if so, why wouldn't they fit?  would be good to know considering its the last thing i need to bring my eagle project to a close.

Ya that's not it. That one puts all six into one. This one is a dual exhaust.

This is odd.  The headers they have posted on their website are shortys.  Looks like I'm going to have to give them a call and sort this out.

Thanks 68!

ps.  Here is the web link I was looking at.

Forgot to mention the down pipe. have no idea where it came from. most likely an aerostar with an aw4.

I'm thinking about doing this for at least my wagon and wondering if there is a noticeable gain in mpg?
what I have is an almost complete rebuild with less than 4000 miles on it and trying to tweak the carb to get it running smooth again...
