[Healeys] Headers on BJ8

[goldengt at cal.net]

I have had them with the 270 degree cam and the stock cam. Subjectively I think the midrange bump was the same.

Do they do anything for (otherwise) stock engines?

yeah, I love my Kirk headers. I have had them since the 70's. Nice boost in the mid range. Other So Cal owners with them in the good old days used to say the same thing. Every thing fit, but I eventually had the slip joint on number 1 or number 2 tube welded because of a leak. I could still get them off without raising the engine.
