I have hooker super comps to go on my 428 when I get time, They will need massaging to fit!!

I have done a heap of research and have settled on Patriot Ceramic Headers as they always seem to be now major issues to fit.  I have also chosen a MagnaFlow exhaust.

I have a 1969 Mach 1 Auto with a 351C feel free to DM me if you want to chat -  you will see another post where I have listed the products from Summit in the US.

Cheers

Did these on a 390. Lots of massaging.

my 390 - do you still have them on now?  Wondering if the big block verse small makes a difference?

What is you take on their perfromance?

Yep.been on over 12 years. Big block and headers give a great note and almost all good once fitted.

But the power steering ram had to be dropped which was easy but since I have had to lengthen a hose and the bracket broke needing a gusset. If doing this I would fit the gusset from the start. Mine played nice and broke in the garage at home when parking.

Mustang marque in Victoria put them on and it took a long time, lots of fiddling such as altering angles etc and hardly any clearance to the shock towers.

Very happy since
