Has anybody tried these headers http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G9141/Just wanted to know what kinds of issues I could have with them. Flanges seem thick enough. Seem to be priced well compared to tti's and dougs I was also looking at the hedman elites but the tube size seems small at 1 3/4" with 14gauge tubing.

I have them on my 68` Plymouth. Fit great with the 383,,had to LOWER the engine 3/4`` to get them to fit a 440..  Otherwise nice headers for the price.  They are Patriot Headers in a Summit box  Also make sure you use Max-Wedge port gaskets. The sealing "bead" is HUGE.

What do you mean by lowering your engine 3/4". The only thing I can think of is putting 3/4" spacers between the k frame and the car frame.
Also running edelbrock heads so they are angle plugged.

Mr. Yuck , why are you running those sippy straws on that motor ?
because they were in the car and ready to roll when I dropped this engine. Probably go up to 2" over the winter. Besides it runs pretty good w/ them.

The 1 7/8" look a lot like hooker 5903's which work awesome on 470-500" strokers after you fit a 3 1/2" collector on them.
Wonder how quick the FAST guys could go if they were even allowed to run "sippy straws" and 3" duals if they're already going high nines and solid 10's on factory logs and 2 1/2 inchers....makes you 
This is a tad OT but how much HP or et can one except to pick up by switching from 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 or even 2"?? meaning is it worth the hassel and $$$

Mr. Yuck, Are you running those Summit cheape's in your sig pic. I have a set on my 68 Charger with a small block and they hang kind of low.
yes these are the small tube summit BB headers in the sig. I hung a set of the SB on my bro's 67 'lite. As I reacll they hang a little lower than the BB units.

They would`nt clear the torsion-bars on the 440.
I could`nt believe it either.
Tried 3-different sets of mounts and brackets,then she got the torch 
Dennis was this with the 1 3/4 or the 1 7/8 ?
Usually it's the other way around , everything fits fine with a 440 and you have to get out the to put them on a 383 . I had a set of unknown headers , might have been blackjacks ? , on my 383 and they would not work with a mini starter on the 383. Nevermind I had to the tube for it to clear the standard mopar starter .

looks like I'll be trying 2" units next year.
