RE: 428 CJ engine project

I have a 428 with Ed heads plus Hooker headers in a 67 Mustang. They don't leak a bit. They hit speed bumps, but that's a different problem.

If I could do it over again, I'd run the FPA headers. They're supposed to hang no lower than the engine or transmission.

I've always used the white Mr. Gasket header and collector gaskets. I've never had a problem with leaks.

I tried using studs in the heads. Wrong answer! There's not nearly enough room to get the headers on with studs. One more thing. The Hookers (and I think the FPA's too) come with 4 bolts per cylinder. I installed every bolt I could get to. That may contribute to the good seal.

Good luck.
