i'm about the squeeze my 512 Stage 6 headed beast back into my 'cuda. Hooker comp headers miss everything when bolted up but you have to fit at the same time as the engine. i'm thinking of cutting off the collector & using a slip on version & cutting the flange & make each side a 3 tube + collector piece. I hoping then i can move just a single tube to give access to the starter & ease of header flange gasket replacement.
This is the best way to do it. I thought your headers already had slip on collectors.
You can buy collectors pretty cheap. Then slip the tubes in, leave the bolts loose, slide the collector on the tighten it all up.
I use 5303 Hookers on my A body. They only go in ONE WAY, IN ORDER. The instructions tell you how to do it and that is that. There are no other ways. Surprisingly, they fit dang nice once they are on. You just have to follow directions.
