I say try it out first with two gasketsand flange and if it works out for you i would weld the flange to header so it look better. Or with the traps on, take torch and heat up the pipes so they bend the slowly and they stay. You mayjust get lucky. But your right should have on the site so people would know if its for manual or auto. That little bit of information goes along way

I originally bought their entire kit of motor mounts, solid bushings, trans mount and headers. their motor mounts were going to push my motor 1.5" forward and 2" up from where it currently sits which wouldn't give my hood enough room to shut with the kenne bell blower.
I thought about trying to use the headers anyways, didn't because they were designed for a motor that sits 2" higher than what I have. my car sits pretty low compared to factory.

I can buy the flanges from ARH so they match exactly what I have. I would think welding them together would look messier than just sticking an extra trimmed up MLS gasket in there.

I would need 4 torches to get all 4 primary's hot enough. I thought about it. my luck i'd kink the primary and ARH would tell me to shove it.

my brother in law is an exotic metal welder, but I've never seen any of his welds first hand...I guess we can cross that bridge if it ever gets there. i'm hoping to have time to get out there and play around with some washers tonight to see if it is possible.

It seems like a lot of company's have issues when it comes to the trans area for some reason but I don't know why. I would try these guys, give them a call. I see they have headers with 2" primary's for camaros with ls-1 to ls-7. Also have a few chassis options. I have had a few friends use there stuff for race cars and had no issues with them

Success! I stuck a few pieces of wood inbetween the head and flange to simulate a milled flange 3/8 thick on the back of the block and 1/8 on the front side and opened up a ton of room. The shifter linkage still needs to be relocated but thats not a big deal.
