Re: IML: Headers for my '81 Imperial???

["sjak brak" <imperial1973@xxxxxxxxx>]

I cant help you with which headers would or would not fit, since I never worked on a 81-83 Imperial (I never even saw one, since there are none in Europe)

 

The dual exhaust will surely help with a better flow.

 

Generally speaking, headers will help improve the performance output of the engine, but the size of the headers is relevant. There is nothing peculiar with the set on the ebay item, but ask your engine builder if the tubes and collectors are right for your application.

Hello Everyone!

I am currently having my '81 Imperial's OEM 318 engine (and tranny) replaced
with a new Mopar crate engine (Blueprint 408 - BPC4080CTC) - ordered from

Summit Racing (http://www.summitracing.com/). The work is being done by

master mechanic Nick Losurdo of Classic Concepts in West Babylon, LI, NY.
Anyone have experience(s) with Blueprint engines, Summit Racing, or Classic Concepts?

 

Also...
We are not sure what headers will bolt right in! We'd rather not figure it out
via trial-and-error. I see someone on eBay is selling "Hedman Painted Header
1981 Chrysler Imperial 78050" (eBay Item #8070019208)...would these work?
They seem to have a rather peculiar configuration!! Does anyone have
experience with using a Mopar crate engine and high-performance headers?
Also, I was thinking if having dual exhaust, rather than single! Any advice will
be greatly appreciated!!!

Many TIA!!!
