Doug's are the best solution out there. I have purchased many items in years gone past (1975 & up), from Ken & HO Racing. Stand up guy and great parts. Had a set of D-port tri-y's of his. Now that said, Tunnel Port Ron is a HOMO!

Yup, died on the vine. Not even a sticky any longer.

Well, I dropped my engine in the car. Seriously. It could have literally dropped in--the Doug's headers fit that well! Nice and tightly tucked underneath with great ground clearance!
I am pleased to see that everything else worked well too. A/C fit. Power steering fit. firewall, starter, oil filter. Everything. Looks almost factory. Now my biggest ground clearance problem is my 8 qt. oil pan. Not the thing that one would want to be the litmus test for ground clearance, but hey, whaddaya gonna do? As soon as I know how to download pics they will be on this site. Thank again for everyone's help!

Greetings from NC!
I have been building headers for professional race cars for over 16 years. I am new to this forum and forums in general. I wanted to jump in on this thread to confirm what a lot of people are learning and that is that a 421 header is a better headers design for any application, street or race. They can be a bit trickier to size correctly and if too large do not show the increases that are possible. I am a high end builder but am happy to offer my opinion as there are a lot of people confused about what is important and where to spend money!  Thanks! |

Hey Calvin, good to see you helping out. Do you have a web site that has more info and some photos of the header systems you build? Based on your location, do you do a lot of NASCAR type work?
Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the responses!
I have a web presence but I am a custom header builder. Most of my customers are not interested in pictures, etc. I do not mass produce so I do not deal with generic stuff.The only cars I have real Jig for at this time is 67-69 Camaro/Nova. I could obviously mount a pontiac motor in that but do not have one. Most of my customers are CUP,NHRA, IMSA and manufacturers. I am looking to do more one off custom headers for NHRA,IHRA Stock, SS. I do turbo headers and installs and local customers have me do some high end exhaust systems for their street cars, mostly BMW's and MB. But I love to help people with their problems when I have time!

I'm lucky to have owned both HO-Racing Tri-Y's and Doug's. Fit and finish on both were top drawer and ground clearance was the best. I used these on my '65 GTO..round port heads.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
