Can't speak to any power gain, but I can verify that the Sunbeam Specialties
headers fit with no modification on my Mark 2. Tight, but they fit. There's
some confusion about which headers Classic MotorSports used in their Tiger
build. One time they mentioned SS, the other, C.A.T.. They had to modify a
motor mount, if memory serves. Maybe Mr. Suddard will offer a comment.
