Header Flanges

[ascenttm]

Anybody have a sorce for header flanges. I'd like to make my own headers for a Ford 215/223
Also want to make an intake for a 4 bbl.
I know Clifford makes both headers and intakes but at $300 each, I'd much rather spend the time to make my own.
TIA

Check Summit Racing they might have a cheap set of headers you can use if you can't find flanges. Just cut the pipes off and reuse the pipes as needed.

I lucked into mine on E-bay, but I was about to make my own. Starting with a gasket set, as a pattern.

Thanks for the info. I never thought to look at Summit. They have a set for about $150 and it says from 53 to 56 trucks but also says it fits flatheads, the 215/223 is an overhead straight 6? and I want it for a 53 mainline, fussy aint I?
I'll have to call then and ask. I have thought about just making a templet from gaskets

before i decided to go with my headers, i wanted to run zoomies. I was too cheap to buy the header flanges to i was going to have my buddy make em on his torch table. All you really need to do is what bonehead said, buy the gaskets, trace em, cut your own. That way you could make numerous sets incase you fudge one up.

Check with RPM motorsports--(maybe the NTBA site-RPM). I bet He would cut you a set pretty reasonable with a CNC Plasma cutter he just got. Good guy to deal with.
