    The fresh engine is in and Hedman Hedders don't work on Windsor jrs, the plugs and wire wont work. Is there a fix for this problem? The shock towers are done, is there a different header for this or BFH time?

    discouraged and pissed!

    Or double up on the header flanges.

    Would the Hooker 6208 work for this?

    I use the same heads and 6901's. I had to use short plugs,straight boots and dimple the tubes slightly , with header wrap to make it work.

    Awesome product!

    Solid stainless steel would be no difference, a friend of mine has 3 of them on his Mustang running high 8's in the 1/4!

    Yeah, those are cool.

    We have discussed those several times for use with GT40p heads.
    Seems like they would work, but the price always ended the discussion.
    Scared GT40p folks away, so we never got any guinea pigs!

    $30 a piece.
    Not a bad solution to a lot of fit problems
