: Small block guys -- anyone running Doug's 369 Headers?

I have a question for the small block guys out there-- is anyone running Doug's #D369 Headers (1.75" primary, 3" collector?)

I would like to install a kickout oil pan on my car (my current Milodon occasionally loses oil pressure under sustained high-g turns and fast stops) but my current Hooker 1.75" Super Comps won't allow a kickout on the passenger side because of one tube that curves towards the pan under the starter. The Doug's headers look like they'll give plenty of room for a kick-out type road race pan, but I would like to hear some comments about them first. Fit? Finish? Overall quality? And most importantly, how much room do they leave down by the oil pan?

And if things weren't difficult enough already, how's Z-bar clearance? Doug's webpage says they will fit stick cars, but I've heard that before... :rolleyes:

Thanks,
Troy
