VERY Cool!

I have a '64 300 that I'm starting on. Also picking up a '64 New Yorker 4dr Hardtop parts car this week. It already has the AAJ disk brake conversion and a smooth running 413 + all the clean rust free sheet metal that my 300 needs.

Hehe....how much for a set of headers? ;D

Re: Project-64 - 1964 Chrysler NewYorker Salon

The headers I fabbed will only work on cars with the engine mounted solidly in the car.
I've actually have big doubts in using these because they run VERY close to the lower part of the steering-box. I *think* the heat generated by the headers will surely make the oilseal inside leak.

I will either mount some shorty headers, modify some B-body headers or start all over again with some stainless steel tubing and create a 'proper' set of headers with at least somewhat equal length tubes, something what my set also doesn't have.

What about recreating the 300-K cast iron style headers in stainless....Those are known to fit but are expensive as hell if you can find them ($1700 for the last set I saw). Maybe not as good as equal length headers but would certainly flow better than the logs on their now right?

I don't recall ever to have seen such a manifold.
Any kind of header that groups all the exhaust-outlets into 1 tube above the torsionbars will work OK I guess. But with big cars like these you'll want long primary exhaust-runners to gain a little more torque.

Here's a few pics I located in the "files" section of the '63-'64 Chryslers Yahoo group...the "owner" never responded when I asked if I could post 'em...I'll take 'em off here if anybody objects.

Re: Project-64 - 1964 Chrysler NewYorker Salon

Recreating these in stainless steel tube would be pretty 'easy'... save for the heattube-supports perhaps, but that's nothing to difficult I think.
I think I would still try to leave the primaries as long as possible before dumping them into one collector.
Although I also believe Chrysler would have done their homework with this system.
