    Yes, they are in production as we speak.

    A couple of unexpected things have happened....

    Inventory of the facility has put us about a week behind.

    Bigger head flanges had to be ordered.

    To any of you that have ordered the headers already or plan to...

    Call me direct @ (951) 371-1744 ext. 257 for the play by play.

    As an added bonus I will try to take pics of the parts as they go through production. It is kinda neat to see:yup: Jamie

    Again I say ... Is there not 1 owner of a windsor powered MAV in SoCal that is interested enough to support a test fit? :huh:

    Well I might consider sending you a copy to try out, but it might take you 3 weeks to get your hookers back out of that car;) .

    My engine is out right now (351)...using factory 302 mounts, and backing it with a Toploader 4 speed...I'd be happy to test fit them...pretty sure I can get them in there...might just end up sending a check in return if they work out nice!:rofl: j/k...


    Btw...I am keeping my factory towers...I've had to beat the tar outta a cheapie pair of Pep Boys special 69.99 header tubes (small sacrifice)...was running a floor shifted auto...
