| Post subject: | Headers GarcÃa: Mexican headers for slant six |
Hi all, Inspired by an old post in which Avenger2040 and argentina-slantsixer talked about these Mexican headers, I first did a Google search then found out I would need to do a Mexican Google search, and I found what I was looking for: Slant Six headers by Headers GarcÃa There is no photo or anything, so I was wondering if one of our Spanish speaking members could confirm that these are the slant six headers. I'd be willing to give these a try...but I'm wondering about shipping costs/import duties. Always cool to see the other options out there! |

Ok Patrick, I think prize will be cheap, header cost is 163 dollars, shipping is other thing, but atleast you got headers prize. |

Thanks. The only catch I see here is that I have to register before I could order. It looks like they will only ship to Mexico? Maybe I can figure this out on my next day off. Do you have any idea if they are dual outlet or 6 into 1 or what? Edit: I tried registering, and I ran into problems. (some kind of server error, so the order could not be processed) |

I think they are double, I will make a call and let you know about that also if they can send outside Mexico. |

ok, I called to GarcÃa and toll me that headers come in a single plate with single tubes for cylinder, and finish with two main exhaust pipe were 3 cyls gather, also for international shipping, they can´t send outside Mexico, but I can get the headers and then send outside Mexico by UPS or any other system. |

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The engine fitment is all the same, but there are a lot of different cars between '64 and '78, with differently-shaped engine compartments and different obstacles in the way. And there's no difference between a '63 engine compartment and a '64, in an A- or B-body. And there's no difference between a '78 engine compartment and a '79 or '80, in an F-body, or between a '79 and an '80, '81, '82, '83, '84, '85, '86, '87, in an M-body. Likewise with trucks, no difference in the engine compartment between a '78 and a '79-'88. Probably a good idea to ask careful questions here before ordering. It would be a nuisance to order the headers only to find they don't fit your car. (Me, I'm curious about their header for Dart-K/Spirit/Shadow 4-cil. Wish I could see a picture! If no picture, maybe they would answer if the header fits both 2.2 and 2.5 engines, and how it differs from the factory header used on the 2.5 from 1987 to 1990.) |

Thanks Avenger, I sent you a private message. My '68 Dart has manual steering and some room to play with compared to the smaller A-bodies. Maybe I can be the guinea pig for everyone here, as far as these headers are concerned.  My only real reservation is about the things actually getting through customs. |

Speaking as someone who has extensive NAFTA border experience (US/Canada) both with products and people (me) crossing the border, I can tell you NAFTA did nothing but enrich the MBAs and outsource jobs.

Didn't Mexican a-body production continue until 78? I thought that there were some Mexican A-body chargers made in the late 70s, but I could be wrong. |

Nope, you're thinking of South America and Australia, where the A-body chassis was used through the early '80s. The Mexican car lineup was pretty much identical to the North American one, year by year, except for badging (the F-bodies were Darts and Valiant Volarés) and some differences in the Dodge Truck product line.
