Re: Cast header question

[QUOTE=51 3600;9180624]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? - Thank you. If it ain't tight, it ain't right...ha ha .Yes, they were the uncoated version. I sent them to a local powder coater and had them thermal powder coated in a titanium color. I highly recommend. I had a leaking valve cover leak oil on them while they were hot. Once it cooled the baked on oil came off with Simple Green and a Scotchbrite pad (I was amazed at how they came back).

Thanks
Marc
