    I have searched all over and cannot find any. Classic inlines says they have some, but they do not fit with low mount starters.

    On that note, how can I tell if I have a low mount starter? And where else would I be able to get one from?

    All 250's are low mount starter, same as V8. There is a problem getting headers to fit the 250 due to the limited area between the frame rail and rear engine flange. The headers have to be routed under and in back of that flange to work effectively. That is probably why Frank extended his collector 3" to the rear.

    I had Mike(classic inines) over several years ago and we measured distances on my Maverick. One has to either use shorties or long tubes with the collector in the rear as above. There is a secondary problem in that the starter is right where one needs to route the pipes. I have not seen any attempt at making shorties for the 250.
