I'm needing a set of headers to use on the dyno for MEL engines. At this point, I'll consider anything in lieu of building a set specific for dyno use. What have you got? My contact info is at

460 headers can be adapted with minimal drama. Just get 430 header flanges on ebay for 70 dollars and weld some 1 7/8 pipe stubs on any 460 headers you want to use. Pipes are real close. Alot cheaper and faster than having them made from scratch. TJR

Thanks. That sounds like a very viable option. As you've mentioned using another set of headers to use for this, I'll check out the spacing on the BBC headers as I run across them quite frequently as opposed to the 460 headers. 460 headers in my part of the country are like looking for hen's teeth.
