Thanks all for the info; very helpful. mr48 I saw those dimensions but I was trying to get a better idea of the fit up near the bends which isn't given in those diagrams. Width looks narrower but hard to tell.

youngrodder it looks like it's still a squeeze but you've made it work, beautifully too I should add. Hooker 8501 HKR?

62c30 are those the Patriot H8097 headers? Pic looks like it's tighter to the block than the Hooker. Does anyone know if the Patriot is a copy of the Hooker? By pics online they look the same.

62c30 can you get a dimension of the distance perpendicular from the head surface as marked in red in the pic below? It would really help the thought process of my old small brain.
