    How wide are the ports on these? The flange bolts pinch the tubes on my 1 5/8" headers as it is.

    Wouldn't the Crites 1.75" be easier?:huh:
    The Hookers take adapter plates and mods to get on a 302.
    The Crites bolt in...

    The only problem is that they are in the middle of a limited production run, so in order to get some, you have to order them RIGHT NOW!
    The Crites are roughly 100 bux cheaper than the Hookers too.
