I agree with Brian. I have the Hooker Super Comps #4202 for my 76 T/A with 2" primary tubes. I did a test fit on the car with a bare block and Edelbrock heads. The #4202's fit right on the car without denting any of the tubes. I had to do this before i send them out for coating. I did not install all the flange to head bolts, i installed 3 on each side. I also rebuilt my motor mounts (clamshell) on the frame using the poly inserts instead of the rubber. With the poly mounts the engine may sit a tad higher in the frame. I have the front clip off the car so that makes things easy to work on. Also before i send my headers out to be coated, i want to try some mods to the flanges to make the headers easy to bolt to the heads. In the October 2000 issue of High Performance Pontiac an article named Header Headaches. This article shows how engine builder Jim Taylor installes these headers on the second gen firebirds. I am going to try it Mr Taylors way before i have them coated. Just some info, hope it helps.
