It's a 521 ci Ford! Yea the pipes will be remade so they all come together at the end, to help scavenge. Those were made in a hurry but I like the way they turned out, just kinda fit the look!

Well thats exactly why I was asking - not that I am an expert on the subject by any means I made a set of upright headers for a figure 8 car once without a collector and was told unless your running injection they actually hurt you. Don't know how true that is but I suppose coming from the source I'd have to beleive him. Regardless we kept them on there because they looked a lot better, but come up with something differnet on the next car. Keep the picture coming Take Care!

Zoomies have no scavenging. Without forced induction - a blower (fuel injection or carburation makes no difference), they do hurt your output in the lower-mid range. I'd even say they probably don't help you any with a blower, since scavenging benefits forced induction engines too.

They basically only work at top end, but you sacrifice everything else for that little window of minor gains.

Are you in michigan? I have been to some mud bogs around the Howell area, and think i saw your truck before?

Suggestions:

Mud flaps?

Fenders?

All kidding aside, that just looks like fun.
