I’ll add that I did the dyno tests for two different sets of Y passenger car headers for Jerry and both sets are on the top for HP numbers for all the passenger car headers that were tested.  Jerry even addressed those back tubes that are cracking at the flanges on other headers and looks like he had a fix for that.  I recently sent back the prototype headers per Jerry’s request so that’s a good sign that header production is in the foreseeable near future.

As to every possible application they might or might not fit only time will tell. We don't have a yard with every model Ford ever made with a Y-Block to test fit. Futhermore, add in the modifications that have been made with various brake boosters ect. and there is really no way of knowing.

A 55 model was chosen because the engine compartment is tighter than the 57 and later models. Theroetically, if they fit a 55 they should fit later models, but until it is actually tried there is no way to know.

Now I'm thinking about putting your low-rise 4bbl intake on it just because I think it looks cool.  Two questions for you:

Will my stock 292 run really smooth as a driver with your 4bll intake or will I get into the stumbling kind of issues I had with the deuces?

Secondly, how large of a 4bbl Holley would you reccommend on your 4bbl low rise?

I am a complete novice here and only want a driver to cruise with.
