    I may have been the first one to use these headers when they came out from Heddmon after doing Fuel Injection conversion.
    They are designed for the early Mustangs and small Ford co. cars.
    A cut and removal of a wedge section then weld them back up enables the collector to be bent downward just enough away from the firewall interference to make the use of custom bent head pipes to the mufflers a nice job. Nothing is seen under the car from the side view, no mufflers etc if carefull attention to detail is done keeping everything tucked up in the right places.
    Of course you will always see the mufflers ends from the rear.
    This may have been printed in your Short Horns news letter back about 9 to 10 years ago.

    Yeah....I found your article. Couldn't ever find mine. Now that I have thought about it.....I think I never wrote the article because I switched to the Doug Thorley headers before I got the project done.....but I took all the pictures of the Hedmans. I need to post those. Someday. :D
