I could really use a good set of paired port headers for my '86 2.0. From what I remember, these are the Holy Grail of Mitsu/D50 parts. The ones that used to be made were tough to find and half of them were crap. I also read here where a member got a set from Australia and they didn't fit.

I'm on a mission to find stuff to make my own. I have a cheap MIG welder. It seems that tubing is readilly available, but the flanges are going to be problematic. My guess is that I could cut a set from 3/8" mild steel plate, using a gasket set as a template. I could do this with a drill press, an angle grinder, some files and 6 hours of my life. Alternately, I could get someone to do it with a plasma cutter.

Any takers?

Jim, I was the one that got the header from Oz and it didnt work. If I could find a guy that had the ability to rework it to make it work. I'd see if I could get em reproduced.

Vannoy thinks the header is set up for a narrowblock, I think its even to big for a narrow block.

What, exactly, was the fitment problem? Do you have pics of the attempted install? Anything you have would be a help.

Theres crappy pics of it somewere in my gallery

You are sorrect, sir. There are crappy pics in your gallery.
What is the tubing ID? Thanks

Have to check tomorrow for ya Jim.

Thanks. I have a set of gaskets on order so I can make flanges.

Got the exhaust manifold gasket. I'l going to order a piece of 3/8" plate to make the flange. Should resist warping and leaking. Tried to source it locally, but no luck so far. I'll post pics as I start fabrication.

I have a header for the 2.0/2.4 head Mitsubishi, Pacesetter sells them?

Not any more Terry.
