where can I find a set of headers to get dual exhaust for my L-Head 6 cylinder 218 flathead Dodge 1950 engine?

Question

I have the factory made dual carb intake manifold & since it was hard enough to find the intake manifold I figure finding the proper fitting exhaust manifold would be impossible.Plus I'd like dual exhaust since I've got an NOS pair of Hush Thrush 70's Mufflers off eBay.So if they sell an after market part for my Canadian build flathead 6 cylinder 218 then that'll be great.I understand the Canadian build 218 blocks or a little longer than U.S. made blocks also.Plus I'm no Mechanic, just a back yard Mechanic.It's been my dream to drive an old pickup truck some day & have to finish this truck ASAP while I've still got my folks with me, they'd love to see it too.I started this truck in May of 1998 & would love to get it on the road this summer.I'm slow working at it since I've got 2 knee's & a hip replacement from having Rheumatoid Arthritis since age 5.I can only work on good days & being single there's the cashflow bit.Thanks if anyone can help.

Answer 1

i own a repair shop and i have redone a lot of the old dodges,if you,ll call hooker headers they can custom make you a set of headers for it,been there and done it,and the fit like a dream ,and wasn't that expensive either,but that's the best way to get a set for that one,good luck with it hope this helps.
