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

 

did you try brphotrods.com ?

 

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 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.

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.

 

Have someone that actually knows how to Tig do it and it will look good.

 

tig them together and grind the weld and no one would even know they were welded

 

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.

 

BTW, which guys were you referring to in this post?

 

Lemons Headers Online :: Product List

I must have forgot to post the link.

 

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.
