------Headers are by "Tubular Automotive". Used to know the owner but cant remember his name at the moment. You will see these on big-block 67/68 Mustangs and Fairlanes quite often as there was so little room in the engine compartment for all the tubes to exit rearward of the crossmember. Since the company was located in Mass. you also see them much more frequently on east coast cars. Front ground clearance had to be maintained as those front four tubes hung way low. Used to affectionatly refer to them as "tubies", as in "Wow,,, you got tubies, huh? That thing must be bad-a$$!!!".........Bill S

Looks like those headers and exhaust pipes make a few trips around New Jersey before they exit out of the rear pipe. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

I thought all W-30's in '69 came with disc brakes(?)

"Scavenger Headers" I know of someone that is repoping these...the first 1000 for Chevy Big Block.
