I doubt Ford recommends 1 1/2" tubing for Aussie 2V heads. 1 1/2" would not
even cover the port. The headers you want are the Hedman Pantera headers
that Larry Stock at the Pantera Parts Connection sells. They have the proper
size oval port flange for 2V heads, 1 3/4" outside diameter primaries and a
2 1/4" diameter collector (fits the Pantera GTS style mufflers and tail pipes).
You'll need to verify this is still the case as last I heard, Larry had sold
the original run of headers but may have had another batch made.

If I can ever make it back to Ohio, I'll have a set of those headers for sale.
I ran them on my Pantera when it still had a set of Aussie 2V haeads.

Yeah, what Dan said. No one recommends 1 1/2" for a Cleveland. Sounds like a Windsor guy making that recommendation. As far as I know, no one manufactured 1 1/2" headers for a Cleveland, ever!

Clevelands like bigger headers than those weezer motors, like Windsors & SBC.

Dan, George, Thanks. I probably wrote down the wrong pipe diameter.
