Finally it looks like someone is making them again. I emailed Mad Dog asking about round ports too. Thanks for posting that link!

If they used 301 engine and frame mounts then this is golden for me!

I wish P zone would hurry up and give me permission to post so I could ask the guy what motor mounts he was using when the headers were made. In a couple pictures it looks like the motor is mounted as it was from the factory. Then in the next picture in has a plate on the front. So now I am scratching my head as to wether or not these would fit my car.

I emailed Mark "Mad Dog" yesterday. This is what I've gotten so far,
"I make a round port header in that design also. there not on the web site yet because its a new design.headers are mild steel and come unpainted. I sell the d-port and round port for $500. and shipping will be around $25. the round port header comes in1 3/4", 1 7/8" or 2" primary tubes. with 3 1/2" collectors." I just replied to his email asking about the motor mount setup. I'll let you know what I hear back. Troy

Well, what I received was not too convincing,
"I can build a step header for the d-port ( 1 3/4 x 1 7/8 or 1 3/4 x 2 ). I was told this is where the engines will be set in these cars but not sure what was used." It looks like Mike is going to have to try to contact "Candyman" to be certain.

Or you can just bye mine, 2" round port headers for g-body. Mine do not go around the frame like mad dogs do.
Thanks Mike. 414-840-0798 |

Candyman over on the other forum doesn't check things too often I suppose. Wish I knew another way to get ahold of him....

I think I can track him down. Have a buddy that talks to him. Will try and find out what starter he is running.

Find out if he is using the factory frame pads and engine mounts from a 301 or atleast was when the headers were built. This seems to be a big issue at hand right now.

Well I got a PM back from Candyman today. Here is what he had so say....
Hello mike yes they are 301 mounts they should fit in your car if you want any photos or have questions feel free to hit me up. the only probalm you might have is if your car sits really low. on the passenger side the number 4 tube runs really close to the control arm so if you race and the car wheelies more than a foot and a half the control arm might hit the tube but thats only if your car sits really low. the soultion i came up with was a front suspension kit from TRZ for more clearence but any cro-mo upper contol arm would work or ding the tube a little with a hammer. AGAIN THIS ONLY MATTERS IF YOUR RIDE HEIGHTS IS REALLY LOW. I hope this helps and if your not sure of anything just hit me up again and i will do all i can to help. |

Good info as I'm starting to build a street/strip 86 1/2 Aero Coupe. Always cheaper to buy the right parts the first time. Thanks for the info.
