    I have a 1964 cj 5 with the 225 v6 motor in it.

    My question is, are there any headers for this motor that will either hug the outside of the frame or go inside the frame.

    Here is a pic of what it looks like now and you can probably guess what the issue is. If not, well the issue is this: when going over rocks and what not I have hit the exhaust instead of the rocker. One instance I really hit the exhaust and then the rocker and what scares me is that some day I am going to hit and its going to damage the motor b/c its hitting the header.

    I looked around quite a bit and I couldn't find any "hugger" style headers that stay inside the frame rails. I ended up switching back to the factory exhaust manifolds (did find a later rear-dump drivers side) and ran all the exhaust inside the frame rails that way. I know Novak Adapters used to make a hugger header for the V6 but it's been discontinued. You might be able to find a used set somewhere...

    Now I do not know but I have been told that 231 headers fit the 225 I will find out soon.
