47-55.1 Cast header question

[51 3600]

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.

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

Sorry for the delay, I keep the frame over at my parents house.

Perfect. Thanks 62c30. Those headers will give me 1”+ more space than I have now. Gonna place an order with Summit today.
