Doug Thorley Headers with SB Trick Flow Heads
Did you ever try a different set of headers?, if not it's all just speculation. Until you try a different set you will not know for sure, next thing you know people are saying the tfs heads don't fit right (maybe they don't) but the only way to know for sure is to test on your car. If I post pictures it really doesn't help a thing other than to show I am not a liar lol. I had the same dougs headers in the same car with a 318 and stock heads and now with a stroked 360 with tfs heads and the engine sits in the same spot as well as the headers to chassis clearance is the same. If all the guys you mentioned have dougs headers I would be seriously looking at those, but again unless you guys are all in the same garage taking the same measurements how do any of you know whats actually wrong with the individual cars?. I get the frustration but if you are going to give up and beat the headers until they fit then there is no point in posting anymore because nobody including you will ever really know what is wrong in the first place.
