Which Header for CJ with 4.0??
Posted: August 31st, 2011, 3:50 pm
I see a lot of header discussion here but can't seem to get specific info on which header will fit on a CJ with a 4.0 head swap. I'll go with Borla or Banks or any other $400 or $500 you guys recommend but I want to be sure it'll fit. I'm talking model or part numbers here. Borla has several for the Wrangler and I've got a Wrangler head so that's fine but I'm a CJ guy. I'm not sure if I've ever even been in a Wrangler. Are the frame rails the same width? How about the clutch linkage and steering shaft? I've got a T5 with a hydraulic clutch so linkage is not a problem but the slave cylinder might be. I'm using the stock intake manifold (with a Weber 38/38) and I understand a little "finesse' may be required to get the intake and exhaust to mate. No problem. What I'm afraid of is ordering a header and having it hit the frame or a motor mount. If you used a Borla header (or other) on a similar set up then please tell me the part number. Summit racing has one for the YJ for $400 including shipping. I believe it's p/n 17034. Thanks for the help. I can't be the only one who'd appreciate the info.
I'll post the Dyno results as soon as I have it running.
Thanks Again,
