  Should let your dad speak more! A gem for sure and his experience would bring much more depth and flavour to the regular content! Excellent video and hope that he can walk us through the experience of working with legacy cars in further workshop or interview videos on the channel

  Your father&apos;s a good and knowledgeable person. No wonder you&apos;re his son. Wish him good health.

  Your dad was trying to explain to you that the headers are of equal length, not unequal length. That&apos;s why the ones nearest the collector have more convoluted loops, to add length within that shorter distance.

  The primary pipes are all the same length as your dad said. Not different lengths as you said. The rear pipe curves forward to make it the same length as the front pipe.

  The exhaust headers are the same length - you keep saying that “if they were the same length”. I’m not sure you’re grasping how this works, it has to do with optimizing the pressure wave through the exhaust to maximize efficiency of each cylinder removing their exhaust gasses.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNepYY7KxaA&amp;t=138">2:18</a> I love how your father&apos;s original answer to what&apos;s the point of using a torsion bar, before you rephrased the question was to just show you the torsion bar. Like, duh, you see how tiny this thing is??? I laughed when he did it.

  Fascinating to see the car so up close. Scott, I&apos;d love to see how these old girls get prepped for modern racing, with presumably much cheaper replacement engines? Are they on Monico spec suspension for the added strength and reliability?

  Here&apos;s a car that uses a torsion bar. You can&apos;t see it in here; it&apos;s all hidden... now a word from our sponsor.
