Sprint Car, Roadster, and possibly Fat Fender and Street Rod headers. Maybe a Fenderwell style.
That is, if you are wanting to go out and over the front suspension wishbone arms.

You can see Sprint and Street rod/Rat rod, and some Fenderwell styles at Schoenfeld headers, T-bucket roadster headers are all over Ebay in stainless steel, along with Fat Fender style.

They have been available in a import stainless version at a much lower cost, but I don't see any at the momont....wait a few weeks and likely the next boatload shows up if you like this style and want stainless.

Schoenfeld also has straight up pulling truck/tractor style stacks also, if that floats your boat....

Or would you prefer something to stay inboard of the suspension arms?? Going to be a bit tougher to find other than the typical shorty headers.

Click on above. Make sure you get headers that will clear straight plug SBC heads. You can mount them upside down and have twin stacks. I'd put on glass packs or header glass packs after you get sick of the loud pipes rattling your brains out.

One of these should work and you can modify as needed.

 

Thanks a bunch. I want to go close, under, and back.
Im thinking ceramic block huggers. Which is why id rather not cut on any.

 

Look around for a set of rams horn cast iron , no leaks , last forever.

 

I built a set of long tube hookers years ago. Id do that again, but in a hurry just to get this done.

 

2.5" corvette ramhorns.
They flow great with minimal port work and will outlast the engine.

Oh and the aftermarket ones are cheap.

Corvette-Style 2-1/2 Inch Ram Horn Exhaust Manifolds, Pair

These "rams horn" cast iron exhaust manifolds were patterned off the 1962-63 327 Corvette but are not OEM remanufactured manifolds (no casting numbers). They feature the big 2-1/2" diameter outlets and have provisions to accept original alternator type brackets. They are the perfect addition to...

Someone talking about porting. They sell these already ported and have more info on their website.

Now because they point straight down the bottom of the exhaust will end up around the bottom of the oil pan. Which becomes a issue with some crossmembers. But you should be good running a 90 then going straight back staying tight to the transmission or 60 or 45 going out the sides in front of the tires after the 90 with your application.

 

The Ram Horn manifolds go straight down while the block hugger headers tuck in closer to the block so you would have more clearance with the axle radius rods. Learned to drive on Ford tractor in about 1950, I love it.

 

Since the rams horns go straight down in the middle I think they will work. Might have to have a slight "kink" to the inside right after the manifold, but I don't think so. The radius rods don't really move side to side -- very little even on really uneven terrain (fixed rear axle tilts entire tractor shortly after front wheels tilt... and the front axle doesn't tilt much). Other than that the block hugger headers will work, but I think the rams horns would look a lot better on the tractor... more factory and less hot-rod.

 

I agree Ram Horn manifolds would look better. Stock GM rear exit ones would look more like the stock Ford 4 cyl.

Very good eye. I was looking at those aswell. I may try them. In the meantime I got huggers on.

 

Those block huggers look like they will hit the drag links especially when the front end pivots on the center bushing ahead of the harmonic balancer.

 

They wont. Just a weird cam angle.

 

Ya. thought you meant the radius rods. the drag links hit the headers. II have to extend them anyways, so been saving that chore for later.

 

I thought i would try some ramshorns.
They actually fit worse than the huggers.
With the huggers, i clear the radius rods (barely, by a 1/16"), but not the steering rods.
The rams horn collector actually sits over/above the radius rods.

Id say if i want perfect, ill probably have to build a set.

Click on above. These are rear dump shorty headers. If you swap them side for side they become front dump headers. The most room you have for exhaust dump is up front. That may work but may interfere with the mechanical fuel pump. You need straight down dump headers that exit just below the front exhaust port like I did on my LS1 powered street rod (see picture) except I kept them rear dump. OR go outside the radius rods and steering drag links like Marvin Baumann did. His are modified (extended) T Bucket headers. By now, I expect you're sick of me mentioning Marvin's work. Keep in mind, he has done this with a SBC, SBF, SB Mopar, Ford Flat Head V8, a Honda Valkyrie engine, and a Gas Turbine Turboshaft engine. He's been there and done that and his site has tons of information and pictures. Reinventing things are very costly in time and $$$. Are you having fun yet?

 

Im very familiar with marvins work. Thats how i figured out how to wire my starter to the tractors original neutral safety switch.

The headers you linked above look promising but look like they will both interfere with alt and fuel pump.

To top it off, one of the cheap chinese huggers i got was hitting the block at the collector. Had to grind it a tad.

I think ive got equal time in assembly as i do with modifying cheap foreign garbage parts that dont fit right lol.

 

The alt can go up top because you have tons of room between the top of the engine intake manifold and the bottom of the hood. As I posted earlier, an idler will provide good wrap around the WP pulley and allow belt tension adjustment. You can also go with an electric fuel pump. Or, you can also go with hand made custom headers. Everything is a compromise. Welcome to the world of Hot Rodding.

 

Yes. I dont want an elec fuel pump, and i want the alt low where it is.

Click on above. This is what's out there. If they don't work for you, you'll have to make your own or modify available units.
Everything is a compromise.

 

I still think the '35-48 Chevy car "fat fender" fenderwell headers would be a good fit. Exit out over the steering arms and suspension then down and back. with the exit back and down at about a 45 degree angle. Collector looks like it would be right about level with the bottom of the tractor frame.
