Local shops got a deal on a set of Flowtech's he ordered in for a project that went away, big block b-body. My research not coming up with many positive results for Flowtech. I'm using Doug's in my small block a-body, fit perfect. I don't know anything about the Flowtech for a 440 b-body. I'm inclined to stick with Dougs but the price on these is really good. Any experience with the Flowtechs??
Oh yeah, it's a hybrid.....it burns gas and tires!

I got a brand new set for my 85 truck with 318, beat 12" of the #1 tube flat and still would not fit the chassis. flowtech = junk IMHO!
I would go with a hedman set myself.
I have 2 sb sets for my 2 trucks and a set of the 79250 bb truck headers in my 88 440 truck.
it has been said b body headers fit the d series truck chassis with a slight trim off the frame top edge for clearance.
I would be looking to see if the hedman 79250 would fit in your b body.
I bet they will fit because they don't need the trimming in a truck chassis so should fit in the b body engine bay with room to spare maybe.
not sure what the hedman part# for their b body is.

I have Flow Techs in my truck too. They fit fairly well, but make sure to check to see if the sealing beads on the flanges match the gaskets. I have one that misses the gasket and leaks. Personally, I would pass on Flow Techs too, especially in something they may be tough to get in and out of.
