Sorry to hear you guys had trouble with the Melrose headers. The set I bought two years ago fit perfectly. Of course since I'm running a carburetor setup, I didn't have to worry about bung location...

Wow. That must have been pretty frustrating. I ordered mine specifically with no bungs. I planned to weld a small bung at the top of each tube so we could measure each cylinder on the dyno. So...

I used the F-Body pan with my Melrose headers. It worked perfectly. I also added the baffle setup that Improvedracing sells for that pan since it is an AutoX application. If you are just doing...

I'm almost positive it will fit an 88. East far as I know, all C4s used the same basic hatch. Where are you located?

But if I'm at 51/49 right now, is it worth going to 52/48 or 53/47 in order to move weight between the axles?
