Re: Cast header question

YOungrodders photos are worth gold in this case.

When we put the Cad 500 in my 71 My son and I heated and bent the top of the frame rail down to clear the exhaust manfold. It made for a nice factory looking roll and won't cause strength issues later.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
