$875 plus $25 for shipping, steep but when you look at $1500 to $2500 for custom headers it was easy to pull the trigger.
I was going to buy an old set of Pro Parts 2" but they are going for around $500, so I figured if I spend that much I might as well go get the brand new bigger ones for my 528 stroker later on.

What are you going to hook them to?

Well, I'm kind of deciding whether to throw my Indy SR heads on that are ready to go with roller springs, or throw the untouched Pro Comp Victor copies on but change the springs.

I'm thinking the Max Ported SR's are a little big for the 440. The Pro Comp 265 cc runners should work well so it's a matter of having the time to do it.
They are going in my 72 Duster.

Still thinking of selling my originals and buying a set of the larger ones. Mine is just under 500" low deck with Sr's soon to have CNC 325 -1's.

I just got my set of the originals back from QC Coatings and they look awesome, I would think the new larger headers are the same layout. These headers werent cheap but after running the Hooker fenderwells they are well worth it!

As I recall from other posts, these are step headers, right? 2" to 2-1/8"

If you could measure and post the lengths of each tube that would be good to have in the data base. ie how long is the 2" part of each tube and the total length of each tube.

Back around 2002, this is what I measured on the 2" ProParts headers:
Quote:

I put a tape through them and came up with this (includes 1" into the collector):

#1= 46in #2= 40in
#3= 47in #4= 33in
#5= 43in #6= 30in
#7= 33in #8= 35in


Except for 1 and 3 they are shorter then Hooker 2" A-body headers. The average length is 38.4" vs the published 43" for the Hooker fenderwell headers

I'll take pics and measure them when they get here. Yes they are stepped so I'll make sure and include the info.

So I have a set of Max wedge ported SR's going on a 528, how did you like your SR's and why are you changing?

Are you saying they still have some of the 2" headers in stock for $500.

I haven't run my engine yet hehehhe. It would have had more than enough power for what I am doing with the SR's. But A friend had a set of brand new 440-1's CNC 325's and sold them to me at a screaming deal. In fact the money I saved allowed me to buy a new set of HS rockers for them.

My SR's were heavily ported and were also set up with HS rockers. I just couldn't pass up the deal on the -1's

SR's are a great head, but the -1's will have more potential for me later down the road.

No, sorry about the confusion, I was talking about the ones I have seen for sale, and I do believe there are some for sale by one of our members in the parts forums, just do a search on pro parts headers.
