I guess it depends on the options. If I had it to do all over again, I'd
check into the availability of the original headers - or at least seeing if
repairing the original header is possible. Either way, it would probably be
cheaper than buying the new headers from Rory. Plus any modification that
requires altering any part of the body to make a new part fit detracts from
the car in my opinion. Though it probably wouldn't be noticed when done
correctly, why do it at all unless it gave a significant gain in
performance?

I contacted Rory and here is his response:

<<<Regarding the 3 Ltr metal chassis Exhaust Manifolds, yes you will 
need to
modify the left hand footwell, you will need to move the fibreglass 
in board
by the width of the chassis tube, i.e 1.5 inch.
It is a simple operation, and can be done in situ quite easily.>>>

Now, is it worth it??
