Well I have tried everyway from Sunday to make them work but just will not be possible without being able to find a longer shift cable that will fit. So far no luck on that either.
72sport, please drop me a note on how to get hold of you for the Hookers at esoverhage at aol.com

Jim, For street use, which would work better (460cid +/- 400hp), the equal length, smalled dia Hooker units or the unequal length, larger dia Crites pieces. Also, would the individual port flanges be an asset or hindrance? Thanks, JOE |

Jim probably missed your question, however being the owner of a set of Hooker Headers I highly recommend them for up to 600 HP as Jim said. The bolts are a tough to work with but they look great when mounted.

I have the Hookers in my car as well. I never had the problems you guys are describing with the bolt holes not lining up. I found these to be the best fitting headers I've ever used (out of 4 or 5 different vehicles). NO ground clearance issues at all, IMO.

Sorry, I did miss the question but agree with the HKR recommendation. Though the 2" Crites pieces would work just as well IMO.. I just like the one piece flange of the HKR's, but the seperate flanges of the Crites pieces would help with any potential line up issues..

Thanks all! The reason I was asking is that I have a used set of Hookers and there are a few tubes that are pretty banged up and was wondering if I would be better off repairing the 6126's or buy a new set from Charles.
Looks like I'll be going the repair route....
Thanks again!!
JOE
