Anybody know who might supply headers or make custom ones for the 226 Flathead?
I contacted Reds Headers and he said that they have the patterns, but wouldn't have any available for several months. Something about training new fabricators. I am not even sure where to start searching. I called a local muffler shop to see if they might know anyone. No answer yet. I can't even find a stock manifold. There is only one on ebay going for $400.
Is the cast iron really hard to weld to? I did a Google search and most of the cast iron welding was to weld up cracks, not do major repair.
I did see that flange from Victory Header Flanges. But the problem with theirs is that the intake is part of their flange. So not only would you have to make exhaust but also the intake. Or I guess just cut the flange up. But I still have to find someone that can fab them up.
This is really the only part that will be holding me back.
