Glad the info could help you out. I'll add a bit more - I just installed a new 532" BB, and the 1.75" Hedman chevelle headers I had were way too small, so I was looking for a 2.125" header to satisfy the needs of the engine. I tried a Dynatech 2.125" x 3.5" Camaro big block header and got the passenger side to fit after cutting & extending a couple of the tubes, but the driver's side was a total no go, mostly due to the #7 tube kick up to get around the steering box on a camaro (which is rear steer) so I got a set made.

Custom Craft in Ft. Smith, AR made these and I had them weld on the ball & socket flanges instead of using regular three bolt flanges. They coated the mufflers and the headers as well. I will be finishing the tailpipes myself and sending them to Custom Craft for coating to match the headers. These are 2.125" x 3.5" collector. They really did a good job - nothing hits, they tuck up tight and I can change the oil filter without unbolting the header. You can see where they kicked in the #1 tube to clear the clamshell mount & bracket. Starter clearance is good as well. Everything installed easily from under the truck without any cussing or throwing tools!
