I've got a Cooper short pipe that will work on that header, it is the only one that I know of. If the header is warped then your out of luck though. QD makes a wrap forward pipe that works good too. Pipes inside the hull make a lot of heat, you really need a lot more airflow to keep the pipe inside. I run alloy headers and never had one melt or crack yet. [8D]

Since you guys are talking about engine mods I saw a SS full mod motor this weekend that had window cut outs all over the motor case was kinda cool looking I know it does not make the motor faster but it will lighten it up.

Will other cyclinders fit the Zenoah case? (Quick Draw, SS, others?)
And if so is the exhaust and intake bolt pattern the same?
Thank You
Butch
