I know you want the thicker flange, but the 1 1/2 primaries are better suited for a near stock motor.

I often thought of making 1-3/8 headers for my own truck.

Cool! I've been leaning towards the summit ones and I'm going with those. I might initially have on the stock manifolds if theres an issue with engine break in...

I think so too. ME NEITHER!

I should have my ignition coil, headers, air cleaner, and Holley 600 carb by next week sometime!
