Just cut the flanges and I could remove them and reinstall them without even lifting the car. They may rub a little in the steering linkage but it's minor and ground clearance isn't great but then what header is.

Also as already posted cut the flanges closer to the tubs, it looks cleaner nad makes them easier to install. 7003364-headers011.JPG (212 downloads)

IMO Made much better than the hooker, seems those things will rust out in no time flat...just a few years.. I also think they will make more power, or atleast more peak power. I havent measure but its easy to see how long the primary tube length is on the hookers... Probably close to 40" LOL.. Guess that was the route years ago with stock heads and stock CID engines to help maybe help mid range and low end torque... But Im no expert...

Matt and I have 2 sets in use right now and the only issue we both had was we had to modify one header tube under the car because we both use a milidon 8 quart oil pan. It was either modify the tube or remove the pan and do a major modification. We both decided on using a 4 pound hammer on the tube. Can't see it till you climb under the car. If I needed another set of headers I would buy these again. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Just have to hit the sealing bead with some additional welds. If it's interference with head/flange between ports, that disappears anyways.

I know mine came with a adapter plate that bolted to the head that changed the bolt pattern from factory to a w2/w5 pattern, but mine are also a 2" tube to a 3 1/2" collector for an A body, also A milodon pan that is a kick-out style won't work. Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I had to cut off the w2 flanges and laser jet some new flanges and tig them on to my w2 headers to fit my w5 heads. The headers are about shot from being old and I wanted a new set. I called them and asked if they would sell me a new w2 set of headers without being welded up and without the w2 flanges. They said no way and that they would be missing out on a sale of a set of headers. What the heck????????? Ya they will. From me. I am just going to build my own set from scratch.

Did you see the photos I posted? Those are Edlebrock heads and have never had any leaking issues, I only use Fel-Pro gaskets though. They will work with a Milodon pan if you section the side of the pan . It's the only pan I'll run on the street, never bumped one yet.
