And at least a six month wait, maybe more.
I'm still waiting since mid-September for mine.

did you pay cod or pay upfront?
on this subject,(curing the restrictive exhaust on early A bodys) It seems I read somewhere, sometime back that cast manifolds from certain years of Durangos,and maybe Daks could be used. I believe they said that they cleared everything well and flowed much better than the old 273s.
Anyone have the story on this, or maybe have done it?
Wish I could remember the source. I really would prefer good flowing factory type manifolds for the street. The best headers I ever had on anything, going back nearly 40 years were somewhat of a hassle just to keep tight. Can't be beat for performance tho!
BTW, I will be using a warm 360 so the 273 mans have to go.
Possibly, but why would you want to? Many better designs readily available for later cars.
Yes. I've heard the same thing about dakota manifolds as well, but nothing conclusive including any mods needed. I'm waiting on someone to send me some pics now of some installed on a Duster. If they fit well, this may be the direction I go. It seems that if the manifolds for those applications would fit with little trouble that the headers for the same applications would be the same. Anyone tried it yet?We did get some more information on another post here regarding early A-Body manifolds and we were told that 1998-2003 Durango manifolds will fit with minor alterations to the manifolds. Mainly near the steering column, if you are not looking for headers this may be useful to you.
seriously. quick cool down temps on valves?. please explain this one.Well, whenever we ran the exhaust uncorked (this includes headers but especially with shorties or with the headpipes exposed on manifolds), we always stuffed steel wool or something up there after it was heated up so that if it were cold outside, the valves wouldn't be subjected to quick cool down temps. I am thinking that in your area, the temps may not be so dramatic but old habits die hard.
Harold, can we get a group buy going? I'd love to discuss the 4-2-1 mod I think there'd be as good a market for them as the present ones since so many people do Strokers today.
