    I e-mailed KGAP and they said try Clifford Performance. I know someone sold them on Ebay at one time but I can't find the contact information.

    Until K-Gap comes out with a new updated catalog not everything they have or make is listed in the curent catalog. I didn't know they had header flanges either. Another item not listed in the catalog is a very good adapter to mate Hudson engines to GM automatic transmissions.

    So it is worth a call to see if they have what you need.

    Have a good day.

    I 'm looking for some equal length headers, to really get an advantage over the stock setup. I'm also weighing the differences between the GM trans adapters. I'd like to run am M-20 or an M-22.

    K-Gap does have the header flanges, and the transition piece of tube that takes the square hole to round. Ask for "Dany" when you call, he'll know.

    There is also a guy who sells headers with equal length tubing at San Simeon every year. Bruce Silva. They are really nice. And you can get them already coated with Jet Hot, or comparable coating. ...That's if he still has them.:)

    I will call K-gap tomorrow and ask to speak to Dany. I was at work and just sent an e-mail so maybe his wife answered and didn't know about the flanges. I called Bruce Silva and he said the headers are not available anymore. He is checking to see if he can get me a set of the flanges. His headers did look real good.
