Posted May 11, 200717 yr comment_209273 hello all! i've read where a few people have had interference with the MSA header on the stock SU manifold. but all of them that i have seen this issue on (madkaw and marty rogan) were the 6-2-1 header; whereas i have the 6-1 header. does the intake interfere on the 6-1 header as well?also, if i do decide to grind down the coolant passageways, will i have to weld anything? or is it just grinding?one more question, how are you guys mounting your return springs if you aren't running the heat shield?thanks guys,Jason Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24297-a-few-qs-regarding-msa-header/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 12, 200717 yr comment_209335 You should be able to grind away with out any issues. i think the problems are with the 6x2 headers only. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24297-a-few-qs-regarding-msa-header/#findComment-209335 Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 13, 200717 yr Author comment_209463 an update - the MSA 6-1 header fits PERFECTLY. the only adjustements i needed to do upon test fitting was bend the 2 extreme edges of the heat shield out about 1/4". otherwise, PERFECT Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24297-a-few-qs-regarding-msa-header/#findComment-209463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
