    Not on yet..will put them on at the end of the month. Was looking at them though:hmmm: . Trying to figure out what to use to relocated my oil filter...an 90deg or a romote system. Have a car lift booked for either the last weekend of Feb or the first weekend of March....I will take tons of pics:yup: I think the will fit really good..from what I can see..

    Got some pics! The headers are come in pieces. You have to bolt headers to engine..then use something like muffler cement or high heat sealer and install collector unit. Still not sure what to use as a flange gasket...I have copper gaskets but the raised portions do not match the header openings. I'm really hoping a 90degree oil filter adapter will work. They look like they will fit pretty good though..from an eyball point of view anyway. These header pics are not aligned at all...just pushed together for the pic(except for one tube, eh).

    Looks like an quite a few off brand diecast in that display case.:D Cool headers, we installed some hooker headers on a 67 fastback with a 390. It was a pain, motor had to be loose and almost had to twist the motor into them. They look like spaghetti under the car.

    I know this is an old thread, but not exactly rusty yet:p

    Grabber71 - How does the story end? Did the install go well? Pictures?

    Thanks,
    Jamie
