Again, if someone could anwser a question for me? Maybe you 383backinblack?

Any other brand headers that will fit square after market heads other than hooker super comp's?

Thanks

Im sure you cand find a header to fit whatever you have from most if not all of the major brands......the shape of the tube in the flange is important, however, as long as the opening of the primary is slightly larger than the exhaust port (doesnt interfere or stick out into the opening, or cover any part of the port) you should be fine.

Are you sure that I can use different style headers to heads? I mean, the headers I have now are headman with round or oval ports (openings) and the heads I have are squre?

What type and style (and how much did they cost) headers are you running and heads? Did your ports match up?

Thanks

PS I am posting a new post on my dyno numbers I got today.

Look for it!

yep

as long as the tube on the header is big enough that it doesnt obstruct any of the port on the head than it wont be a problem....i have hooker supercomps with 1-3/4 primaries ceramic coated....they are a specific part number to fit on a small block in a 3rd gen car. they are pretty big so there isnt an interference problem.

if you wanna know for sure, bolt them up with a gasket (make sure the gasket is right for the head ports first, check with the manufacturer for the right gasket #) after you bolt up the header take it off and check the imprint on the gasket, that should tell you what you need to know :rockon:
