Just need a set of Fentons for testing. Have been testing a few of the header designs that are here on various engines as I go along but a serious test on exhaust systems will take place on a near stock +060 312 once the engine is reassembled. That engine is a being a bear right now in that 4 of the 5 cam bearing holes are undersized (by as much as 0.006”) and to compound this issue they are not aligned from one end to the other either either. Will be boring the cam journal holes in the block oversize in which to straighten the holes and get the camshaft to rotate freely and without carving on the bearings which would have created an excess of bearing clearance on the rear cam bearing if done this way. Still hope to have this particular block ready to preassemble in a couple of weeks or soon thereafter.

The test will determine whether I buy a set or not and they need too be more than slightly better than the 57s and up.If they can make several more HP and ft lbs of torque then I'm probably a buyer. Let's hear it Ted as if enough isn't already resting on your shoulders  It looks as if you''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''re the man

The whole thing about Fenton's is they are vintage hot rod, they flow only slightly better (what did we know about it then) and the LOOK COOL! I would like to see a comparison done on them with stock, rams horns and available headers (TED?) but would still love to have a set! AND  those were CHROME! Chuck in NH
Y's guys rule! Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

I happen to have a set of these.
I have a truck, & don't know how long before I'll have the dough to use these on an old fairlane, or other car. I'd be up for a little horse trading to get my supercharger for my truck!
I need the works, Whatcha' guys got?

If you wanna call Patrick's about the fenton y-block headers his PH: # is 520-836-1117 . I'd like to know if they out perform the stock 57 headers and by (how much if they do) before investing $300 which seems reasonable.

I talked to Patrick yesterday. He says they have been cast and are being machined now. About six weeks away from being ready. Cost will be $300 per set. Butch Lawson Manchester, TN

Gary, Google "Patricks" they're in Arizona. Think it's around 300.
