I had a slight leak b/c of this. I had to put high temp silicone sealant to fix it and it seems to have come back after about a year. But otherwise the're great. They fit nice and tight just like FLP's, they have O2 holes already, and nice coating too.

Would there be a problem welding the collectors on?!

But if your looking for the header that produced the highest power on modified LT1's not to mention being some of the nicest built headers you can buy check out: www.lemonsheaders.com
You can get these stepped to what ever size pipe for SBC up to 2 1/4 with collectors up to 6" or what ever you prefere. They will also Jett Hot coat them,install O'2 bungs or what ever you want. I have a set and these headers compared to the Hookers there is no comparison. I have had Hookers in the past and all I can say is the extra time I had to put into them just to get the inlet of the primaries matched to my cylinder heads was a joke. The variation from inlet primaries size to primaries was different for each one plus the huge welds that disturb or restricked flow within the header tube.
Go with Lemmon if you want max power in a header.

That's why I always ask what's out there, you just never know. I will definitely give them a call, and see what they have to offer for my 383 stroker.
Thanks for your help.

I love my Grotty headers, don't get me wrong. But the plug access on #4 & #6 is terrible. You'd probably better off removing the headers just to get a socket in there.
