Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bolt directly to my block, or do I need an adapter?
This header mounts at factory bolt points—no adapters or modifications needed. Confirm your specific block casting before ordering to ensure compatibility within the 396–502 range.
Do I need to ceramic coat or paint this header?
Stainless steel doesn't require paint or coating to resist rust, but many builders coat headers for heat management or appearance. That choice is yours—the material itself won't degrade bare.
What fasteners do I need to install this?
Header bolts and gaskets are not included with the assembly. Source fasteners that match your block's original specifications, then torque to your service manual's spec for that engine.
