sanderson headers on Flathead

Anybody have a set of Sanderson headers on their Flathead motor? if so would love to see a picture of the setup. Thanks

 

Bought a set of sanderson headers a while back, they fit like **** and could never get them flat enough to seal without exhaust leaks. At the GNRS I spoke to a gent at the sanderson booth and jokingly asked him how much material you usually have to remove to get a flat fit against an engine block- his reply? "usually not much". Seriously.

Never again.

 

Running two av8's, both have Sanderson headers, neither leak nor have ever leaked, use a narrow, thin bead of high temp rtv around the port.

 

A friend of mine just installed a pair on his 51 and they fit fine with no problems . I have heard good and bad with Sanderson's headers .
For what they charge for a set of headers they should fit like a glove !

It seems some of their headers fit like they should and don't leak and other people report just the opposite. I run mine with header gaskets and they have never leaked in over 20 years of use, but for some reason not everyone has that same luck.

Virg every time I see your engine I get goose bumps, great job!!!!

 

My current headers are from the old Motor City Flathead, and because of the stock steering we had to beat the **** out of them on the steering box side to fit. Sanderson claims that their FH2s fit like a charm, but at $475.00 with ceramic coating there not cheap! Thanks for the input and help.

 

I use Tatom's headers they fit stock 40 steering great

 

I run several Sandersons, no problems. Then you read some do. PROBLEM, They were quick to take my card$$, but I had to call for a 8 days for deliverly. They did ******** me that they were on the way and but then their shipping department overlooked sending them out, I call ******** on an overshight. Only an all out warning that I got my purchase. This was only 3 months ago. No more for me. Big sale, Low delivery. Good luck.
