RE: heads on my 390

Hooker as well several other header mfg's state that their headers are for 390 and 428 CJ applications. But they're for the 428CJ's only. As you found out the ports on the 390 heads don't match those of the 428CJ's. The headers fit the 428CJ only. Use them on a 390 and you'll get blown exhaust gaskets and exhaust leaks. The only headers that I know of that are made for the 390's are FPA's tri-y's. There built for specfic heads, based on the heads P/N and stud patterns. I bought a set for my 390 in my 67 GTA Fastback, and they fit like a glove. Also they are no lower than the trans pan, so you don't lose ground clearance, They are pricey though, but worth it.

 Sure...I'd request a trade-in. Or, sell 'em and start over. See... -- Mr F, 09/07/2005
