[DeTomaso] NEED SOURCE FOR 180 DEGREE HEADERS FABRICATION

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

The latest crop of 180's by Dawson  and Byers are beautiful.  I got my 180's custom original "they-will-bolt-right-up to your 302B heads"  from Hall Pantera in 2000....the great thing about them is you have to unbolt the headers before you can remove the driver's side valve covers....now thats what I call great engineering. This all most ruined a perfectly good friendship with Dick Drenske ;-]>

.... and to install the beasts, be real sure you know what goes where before 
you start. Photos are helpful. I disassembled a set (not Tom's) off a car 
needing an engine change, and trying to remember how they came out only hours 
later on the new engine, about drove me nuts. Some are built with 4 joined pipes 
and some pipes are separate to fit around stuff. Some individual pipes must 
be assembled in a certain sequence, some with special sized bolts. I think I 
put at least 14 pipes on that motor.... My 2¢- J DeRyke
