Cost ain't bad either. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Have a look at the Hedman Elite series. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats | | Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 |

I had to hammer the header a little bit to get the header to fit.

The company has a fine reputation and their SBC HEI is almost cheaper than I can rebuild a stock unit. Plus their HEI is 65k volts! I have gotten an intake for an SBC as well as the HEI and been very pleased with quality and price. The Block huggers may be next! http://www.skipwhiteperformance.com/detail.aspx?Item=8808-HDRbest wishes, Les | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 | decent price ,especially for stainless.....dave
