Hi Steve
Left you a Vmail, but also wanted to try to help as well.
We make a number of different small block chevy flange styles for various heads. We make a full round 1 5/8" od (1.495 id), full round 1 3/4" (1.62 id), 1 3/4" tall oval that measures about 1.300 wide-id versus 1.55 tall-id), and we also offer a square flange that is 1.55 X 1.55 od (1.42 id). We also offer a "1 7/8" tall oval" that is 1.425X1.675.
We typically use the 1 3/4" tall oval for 1 3/4" headers, 1 7/8" tall oval for 1 7/8" headers, etc. Using the larger flange with the smaller header tube size is possible, but they have to be hammer welded to the port-possible to do but much more time consuming than using the "right" sized flanges. Also, when we build a header, we insert the tube into the flange and weld the tube to the flange on the cylinder head port face-not on the outside of the flange-thus the ID/OD dimensions that I give account for the .065 wall thickness of the tubing being subtracted.
We can also cut flanges from a cylinder head or template to your exhaust ports-we have two trumpf cnc lasers in house and have cut flanges for everything from flatheads to brad anderson top fuel engines.
Our first gen Camaro headers were protoyped on my car-my 67 is lowered about 2 1/2 to 3" in the front and I have never drug the headers. They do hang below the bottom of the subframe rail which parallels the header, but we tucked them up as tight as possible.
Let me know if I can help. My email is [email protected] I am not on the board every day so sometimes emailing me is better.
Thanks
