Anyone ever bought from Bill's Datsun in Oregon?

Looking for an A-series header

For A-series, South Yokohama makes high-quality large-tube headers

 

4-into-1 for 1200

4-into-1 for B310

The racetep header I got some 6 years ago was shit for quality. Massive amounts of wiggle from a way too large center hole, leaky flanges. Not worth it. If you're going to get one, have Troy Ermish build you a custom header. Or just run the stock exhaust manifold.

I don't normally consider myself a cheap bastard, but I can't see paying $1100-1200 for a header. I can build my own for less than half that. Last stainless header I built only cost about $500-550.

Can't. Two reasons.

 

1. Because it won't clear the dual sidedraft intake.

2. Because racecar.

time to head to the lazer cutter and buy some weld L's

Sounds like it... :rofl:

 

Just wish this motor was crossflow so I could make me a big ol' bundle-o-snakes style header.... :thumbup:

[DISLEXICDIME]

ahhh just build a snake bundle turbo manifold and a custom intake with a snail and a su attached

So who else makes a header for an L20b?

 

NIssan.

(hint: it's the one on the right)

 

 

 

Cheap and effective

Can you grind the top center of the cast header so it will clear the aftermarket intake?

Is that an L20b like mine? Can't tell what mine looks like with the heat shield.

[datzenmike]

No, the L20B are 4 pipe into a single down outlet. That one is an L16/18 with 4 into 2 and then 2 into 1 down pipe.

 

The '75-'77 L20Bs had the intake and exhaust bolted together so you would need to address a hole in the bottom of the intake below the carb. A plate could be bolted over it.

 

 

The '78 and up L20Bs had divorced intake and exhaust manifolds and will take an earlier L16/18 exhaust no problem.

Nah. In order to grind enough off to make it fit, you'd break through into the exhaust ports. B)

 

I actually have some custom machined spacers to push the intake manifold out 1.5" to clear a stock exhaust manifold, but again I really want a header, so... :wub:

Did some wheeling and dealing and picked up a lightly used Nissan Comp header today, so call off the dogs! ^_^
