Thanks,
John

This, as you can imagine is a very desirable piece. The last time I saw one for sale, and this is two years ago, was in the 4 bill range.
You can have one made out of your exhaust manifold by that guy out in Kansas (Kansas Kustoms?). See the inliners.org site for the email. regards, Cosmo.

Ever notice the 2 different gasket flanges on Fenton Chevy headers? One is for a donut gasket and the other side is flat.
The flat side is for a heat riser plate that would mount between the pipe and header flange.

SIt worked great, the car held national m.p.h. and e.t. records in 1954 NHRA at Pomona, Ca.
