[Hans Edlund]

Title: Message

Hi Clint I am looking for a pair of headers for a 71 Camino. SBC and I need 1 ¾” due to the charger. Until now I didn’t thought stainless steel was an option. But if you know some…   Hans     -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Clint Hooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]r.com] Skickat: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 12:43 Till: The Chevelle Mailing List Ämne: [Chevelle-list] stainless headers   What year car do you need them for,Andre?

Maybe Al offered to build a set for you because you know him ??   Se below for the Q's &A's:   1 Do you have any small block Chevelle headers with bigger primary tubes than 1 5/8"? SORRY THE 1.625” PRIMARIES ARE ALL WE HAVE TO OFFER. 2 Do you offer any other style of flange style than the leakprone 3bolt style (slip-on style with band clamp or something like Burns v-band)? SLIP-FIT STYLE IS AVAILABLE. 3 Do you supply the cones with flanges that are to be welded to the exhaust system toghether with the headers? NO 4 How thick are the flanges that are to be mounted on the engine? 0.375” THICK 5 If I were to upgrade the headers to 18deg heads at a later time could I just change the engine flanges or would I need a complete new header? YOU WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THAT CALL, WE COULD SUPPLY YOU WITH THE FLANGES WHEN THEN TIME COMES. 6 Do the headers have equal lenght primary tubes? NO THEY ARE NOT EQUAL LENGTH, SEE ATTACHED PICTURE.   thanks!   Have Fun André -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint Hooper Sent: 6. juli 2005 20:55 To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] stainless headers Stainless Works will build their headers with 1 5/8", 1 3/4", or 1 7/8" primaries. 1 5/8" tubes would be my preference for my 350.

If I ever switch to stainless headers,Stainless Works will be the ones I use.
