I've been scouring about but can't seem to find an i6 header. I know, it doesn;t make much sense to swap one in for the factory manifold, but it's cracked and needs replacing anyway. The manifold itself runs abot 250, so I figured I might as well switch it out with a header. Has anyone seen or heard of i6 headers at a reasonable price? Hornet parts in general seem harder to find than most AMC. Does anyone have any leads on a heavy hornet site that has more options than Rock Auto?
Thanks!

I believe they dropped passenger car headers a while ago. |

Interesting
I would think either car or Jeep but not both since the front ends are completely different. |

Either way, that's a bit pricey in comparison to getting a new manifold for only 140.

Itll be alot more than just the $ for header because the Cliff header is duel outlet. i had to modify #1 tube to work with ps bracketry. Otherwise the one i used (for the 4.0 head) is a good piece and ground clearance is perfect.

The Jeep headers don't fit the cars with a stick very well........... the clutch linkage hits a tube and you have to grind the linkage a bit and dent the tube for clearance.
I agree there are differences between the Jeep and car systems, but I've had Clifford headers on a 6 cyl AMC, and although it works, it's less than perfect because it's, well, for a Jeep! Another option is to go to the manifolds as used on 1981 and later AMCs, good used. I'd not buy new in any case with all the used stuff floating around. Headers mean that you will have to move to a performance intake, or break part of the intake off to clear the header. |

I once had a header for early 232 CARS, but that was an early header. Kinda sad I got rid of it, because I will never find another! There are other companies then clifford, I did a lot of research of headers during my 232 build, but then I ended up with a new exhauset manifold that breathes fine for my mild build.

I'm not sure which manifolds will fit directly with my '75 hornet. I have the 3.8l 232. Which years and models would be a direct fit? thanks
