I was wondering if any of the racing Buick guys run the slip- fit 2 1/4 headers on there stg.2 motors?? I know TA usually stock these, how do they work, what year car are you running?? If ya have pictures, please send me some, I have a Stg. 2 motor going in my '65 and looks like I'll have to have custom headers built ($1500) but TA Mike thought his slip-fit 2 1/4 might work.... might, but may need some work. Any info. is greatly appreciated. Oh yes, when running an SFI "wheel" flexplate, does it take longer mounting bolts? Gary G
Gary If you're going to do custom headers consider mocking it all up w/ a mid-plate as well. Considering the cost of custom headers you might as well use stainless,that's what my exhaust is done in and it looks great. probably a little more money but you don't have to get them coated (over $300). Assuming you mean the bolts to mount the flex-plate to the crank,I've always used the stock bolts or an equivalent. Just use loctite and torque them evenly. Can't wait to see this project,I've always liked the 64/65 body styles,more than my '70 sometimes. Keep us posted.
