Mandingo if you find them let me know i have been looking for those exact same headers for my 390/auto 66' and was told they dont make them and i'd have to go custom made...at $800 for those i fell out of my chair :eek:
If you find some give me an email and i would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks STEVE

I was told by a friend of mine that back in the day bird owners just puled the butterfly baffle out of the exhaust manifolds.

sound like it would help but I'd rather have headers. :cool:

Talking

Guys i think i know why they dont make headers for our cars now :D ....i was just putting the manifolds back on my 390.....and unless you have hands the size of a 5 yr old girl its darn near imposible to get to all the bolts theres just NO room!

I've still got 4 bolts to try to put in on the drivers side but HAD to take a break :D
