Have they got the same design exhaust manifolds as yours Rob?

I havent seen those long rams being repro'd, but I cant say I've been looking! Prob why they command $$$$ when they come up for sale.

Our 'headers' were designed for the 62 model year, as part of the max wedge package, so wouldnt have been available when the long rams were fitted. Plus I doubt they would fit together, as the headers rise up above the level of the rocker covers, and the carbs & the long ram manifold drops down below that level

A major job for valve covers and spark plugs.

Spark plugs are relatively easy on ours but they didnt cure the valve cover problem completely on the cross-ram. The passenger side is only just removeable
