Anyone tried this kit with v8 headers for clearance?

I don't see why you couldn't. If you get at the spark plugs, should have enough room. I only used it on snowmobiles.

That will depend on the headers... Typically the cheaper the headers the worse the header clearance will be. That being said, the adaptors that are threaded into the head are flexible hose so they do give a bit of wiggle room. Had no clearance issues in my 4x4 78 chevy truck with a 454 and Headman Elite Series headers. Did have some issues with the #6 hole on a 350 in a 70 Chevelle with the same brand and series of headers. But that issue would have been there with any compression tester unless it had a 90 degree adaptor coming out of the header.

Not at all....the duel port heads have separate ports that divert air into each cylinder. Heads are the key not intake manifolds

Chris I see the responses you got from the other guys they are all correct. If you need help to see how the kit works there several decent YouTube videos out there too. For headbolts I would recommend finding a machine shop to help out. I had a problem headbolts on an aluminum block I was able to find engine shop to cut new threads for me.

Nope. Everything worked fine . Just make sure you install it right and that you chose the right intake for your specific vehicle

Sure i have used this for a while. 2 rolls did my 71 Trans am with a big block Chevy with long 2 inch tube headers with 4 inch collector. Just don't have much overlap.

Nope. I mistakenly bought this thinking it was as well, and had to return it for a significant shipping cost. This is actually a ONE cylinder motor, so the intake, controls, exhaust and everything else pretty much don't fit right. I considered making the adapters and parts to make it work, then decided it just wasn't worth the trouble. I believe it cost me over $100 to ship it back.

No. It only comes with the headers. You will have to modify or replace the stock y pipe

You can make it work but you'd have to jet it and have a full exhaust to make it run right. Youre better off getting a hi flow drop in with a modified airbox lid(remove it)and do the same mods. It'll be more reliable and the performance gain will be the same. Coincidentally, you can't remove the lid without re-jetting your carbs for the extra flow.

My experience with the carb kit was less than satisfactory. Installed them on a 74 1600 VW engine and ended up re-installing the original carburetor. We couldn't get them to adjust properly.

Should work fine. I have one for my intake, and one for my exhaust. You should be fine. No major signs of wear on the bearing either.

I installed this kit on a 94 Cajun with a 175 evinrude.the only problem was I had to enlarge the hole for the helm control.I also had to lift the motor to install the the through tube,not enough clearance to install but works fine after installed.

Yes, the kit I just opened is a complete kit from the turbo to the tailpipe. Delete pipe for the converter and a flow through muffler.

Yes, I have one. I haven't mounted it yet, but I did do the research on what size radiator is compatible. Have fun with your build.

I installed the V&H; power duals with the 4" Monster rounds along with thier Fuel Pak Tuner. Other than a stage 1 intake, i have a stock 96" motor and im happy with it. I will be doing cams sometime soon for optimum performance...

I gambled on the same thing and it worked out great. YMMV.I have the V&H; Longshots on my 2003 Kawasaki Meanstreak. It came with the "CheeseGrater" baffles that were too loud. I bought these hoping that they would fit. What I found is that at their largest diameter, they were just slightly smaller than the pipes. I was afraid they would rattle in there, so I bought some hi-temp fiberglass (the stuff they sell for patching up mufflers), wrapped it around the baffle a few times and taped it down. I then slid it in and screwed it in to place. No rattle, more of a "blub blub" than the 'BLAT BLAT' from before. Great investment. I gambled on the same thing and it worked out great.

I don't really know, but I would be a bit surprised if they would work. I have read that the type IV engine had "improved air intake" over the type I, and that may mean the new manifold would not fit the opening in the heads.

The starter is working great !!! But I'm running shorty headers on my 1990 mustang . I don't know the length are running short r long tube header?
