what id like to know is if i can mount the headers on opposite sides. im planning on droping in a lt1 into a 79 f body, then fabbing up a twin turbo kit. ive seen some mustang guys reverse the headers and mount them forward in a upswept manor. my concern was that the lt1 heads are d shaped exhaust ports, will regular sbc oval ports work? will they restrict flow too much?

 

The header flange is symmetrical so it can be mounted in reverse. The ports on my hooker LT headers are rectangular and most headers are not D shaped, but if they are you’re better of having oval or rectangular. Regular sbc headers are more widely available and cheaper.

 

thanks for the input
