Click to expand... Just get the flange milled until it's true. Then you know it's going to seal and you don't have to worry.

T turbobob924 Member Joined May 28, 2001 Jun 6, 2010 #10 thanks guys. I spent a lot of time getting the config to clear the steering shaft. In the end it is very much like the TA headers except the back port is flipped close to the block rather than on the outside.
