unless you plan on making a new blade/butterfly, you will only be able to open the bottom of the TB (where it tappers) to match the size above the blade. i think it starts at 59 and tapers to 54 if i remember right. so you would be able to do 59mm straight thru (well the bottom anyway) as long as my numbers are right without needing to fab up a new blade

I pickup an OEM style header that included expansion bellows for the front and rear cylinders.
Been on my DD for almost a year and no problems yet. Paid 80 bucks and minimal shipping.

Must say that the construction lacked the attention to exhaust port flow dynamics.
Lots of heavy welding beads in the exhaust ports.

You really want a basis to start with?
Google up Jeep Speed Racer, it was a 10 build of a 2 door Cherokee into an off road racer.
Be a good base line to start with.
