The configuration looks like the Clifford # 55-0100 (I have a new set hanging from the rafters). Except yours look like the outlet flanges were cut off and the pipes made into a single outlet. The 55-0100 is for 1960-1966 "A" body with a 225. Clifford also listed a 55-0144 for the 1960-81 "B" and "E" bodies, and the 67-81 "A,E,F",M" bodies with a 225. I don't have a picture of that header but think it looked very similar to the 55-0100.
What size are the primary pipes on those headers? They look larger then mine.

PS the 55-0100 headers I have, would need a little "tweeking" for clearence on my 66 Valiant with a 225. I wound up using the 55-0010 (shorty) on that car. They fit fine.

Any header currently made is going to require mods on a 170 engine. In my opinion, it is much easier to modify the Clifford "shorty" headers # 55-0010

i haven't picked them up yet, I won them on e bag , and was wondering about my options. I guess i should try to trade for some shorties, or a 170 specific header, so anyone want to trade?

thanks for the info. Now the tricky part, making them fit on my 170, with minimal work as possible. Any suggestions on how to make this happen? I got a good one from charlie already, but would like to hear if others have done this so....:roll:
