    I'm putting an early Cadillac engine in my 27 RPU and can't find anyone making early Cad Header Flanges for the 49 to 59 Cad engines, do you know of any of the vendors that are making flanges for these engines?

    I found a set on Ebay. The seller was Hellsgate Hot Rods?

    The headers were scratch built using 235 Chevy oil filter cans for the collectors. The flanges fit quite well.

    One more vote for Hellsgate hot rods header flanges and parts or headers if you want him to build them. Good folks with great products. And a Hamber.

    We always made our own when nobody else did. A gasket for a pattern, a gutting torch and a grinder for esthetics. It's really not that difficult just time consuming. The pride factor makes it worth it and you can say I did it the old fashion way...no web site needed.:D
