1 3/4" Headers - Do they exist?!
I thought I had it all planned out!
I will be needing 1 3/4" primary tube headers for the pit when I get done with the 418W build.
I found the perfect set on the Hedman header site, Extreme Duty. They were listed as 1 3/4"X3" for 2WD with 351W.
Then I go to the Summit site to see if they carry them, they did.
Problem?
On the Summit site they are listed as 1 1/2"......not 1 3/4".
I went back to the Hedman site and noticed they have a set listed for 4WD with 351W with the same part number (89278). Only they are listed as 1 1/2"!!
I sent an email to Hedman to see if there was a typo and just received their response. The header (89278) is indeed 1 1/2"X3".
I am pretty sure 1 1/2" or even 1 5/8" headers will choke a 418cid too much. I may have to shell out the big bucks for custom headers, but no one within 250 miles can handle that.....
Soooo
Does anyone know who makes a 1 3/4" LT header for a mid 80's to early 90's truck with a 351W?

I'll be using a Scat forged crank. Scat doesn't make a 4.17" stroke crank, I wish they did.
I guess Speedomotive sells a 427 rotating assembly, but they are not the best quality. Scat isn't the best either but rank up there.
