[Healeys] Headers

[Harold Manifold]

Ira,
 
I did an extensive look into headers for my 1960 BT7 which is not too
different from your 59BN4. This is what I found:
 
The outrigger on the drivers side must be modified to accept larger diameter
pipe at a wider centre to centre spacing. BJ8 had this type of outrigger as
standard.
Possibly the corner of the intake manifold will require machining to clear
the header but this may be dependant on the brand of header
The existing exhaust system will have to replaced as the headers have a
different diameter and spacing.
 
Possibly you could come up with an adapter to fit between the header and the
existing exhaust but space is limited.
 
I would be interested if you find a header that dose's require some or all
of these modifications.
 
Harold

Howdy all, 
Hope you are all well. 
It has been a long time since I removed my exhaust.  Is it possible to
replce the exhaust manifold with a header and not remove the intake
manifold?
