    the 6901-01's that i have are using a c-4 with the small bellhousing and the 157 tooth flexplate. has anyone used them with the larger bellhousing and the 164 tooth flexplate?:confused:

    Yay, they were on my front porch this afternoon. Man that was fast. I can't wait. We're putting in the 302 after the western pa meet!

    Hey Robert...

    ...I think that Dennis means behind a small block.
    He probably meant without metal massage and
    surgery as well.

    If I give em a whirl I will let you know but judging from the price of them I will probably just build new ones .


    C6 behind a small block in a mav/comet is pretty popular around here

    I dont know what the difference is, but I dont have to jack up my engine to put my headers on. I`m running a 302(the one in the picture above) and a 157 tooth (small)flexplate with a c-4. I have manual steering and brakes and my 6901-1`s simply slide right up and into place with everything still bolted down . These are the best fitting and easiest to install headers I`ve ever dealt with on ANY car. :D

    M.A.V., i have to put mine back on this sunday. i'll try without jacking the engine up but i doubt they will fit. they are pretty easy when i jack the engine up though. got the tranny back in last night. :D

    Don, I used to have a set of Blackjack headers (remember them?)
    On my car and I had to jack up the engine an inch or two to put them on . Good luck with your installation .

    By the way ...I do have to turn my steering wheel a little to get the drivers side 6901-1 on . The pitman arm will be in the way at times. I also always have the car on jackstands (instead of ramps) so the suspension is at full droop,but I`m not sure if that part makes any difference.

    6901 fitment issues.

    Am I the only person running 6901 headers with a left turn radius problem?
    If so I wonder why?
    The pitman arm runs into the drivers header at about 80% left.
