Head and headers - common ground

[ejohnson03]

Can anyone tell me how Dart determines the exhaust port profile on new Cylinder head designs?

I just completed the build of my 434 Stroker motor. My engine builder was able to snag me a set of Dart Pro1 200 Heads with angled plugs. All this high end stuff is new to me so I told him to build around them.

Problem came up when it was time to order new headers for the Pro1's.

Turns out that only one company accomidates the angled plugs, Doug's Headers. And of coarse there are not the cheapest headers out there.

So that is why I was wondering how or if the exhaust port design is purely a Flow solution or if common headers are considered.

Mmmmm Kaaa?:D

I have got Hooker Super Comps, and they fit the angle plug very well, had a guy comment about it the other day, no dings in the headers :D Was lucky to help a guy this winter that had a set of Lemons headers done up for this 502 68 Camaro. I have to say they are probably some of the finest fitting headers I have ever seen. By the way they were 2 1/8x4 in a Gen 1 Camaro.

Might want to check out Schoenfeld. Good price, great fit and I like the performance.

I found a set of stepped big tube headers for my small block Chevelle for under $400.

Don't think much of the coating that came on them but I wanted to paint them silver instead of black anyway
