409 Stahl headers
I need to find an old set of 1 7/8" Stahl headers for a 409. Condition: usable, not modified. All leads appreciated, with finder's fee.
Thanks Verne

Re: 409 Stahl headers
Bob,
I appreciate the offer  I have a couple of those heavy-weights already. If I was doing a nostalgic car for display, they'd be perfect! But the car I'm doing doesn't need the extra 50lbs on it.  Actually, I think I have one of those things in Aluminum too..about an 1" thick.  (are you going to York?).

Verne...this one says ANSEN on both pieces cast in...the bottom piec says NHRA approved and Ansen cast in...Rick...it's not really for sale or I would have priced it...thought maybe Verne could use it but it looks like he has a couple of the damn things...

Re: 409 Stahl headers
I'm changing my request to TWO INCH Stahls, rather than 1 7/8". Had a talk with my engine man.
Thanks. Verne

Re: 409 Stahl headers
I like that word Bob. I use it all the time.
But, they shouldn't be "that" rare. Stahl has been making headers off and on for years for the "new" nostalgia drag cars that keep being built, even some "street" cars with big ideas. I'm just trying to save the $700.-$800. a new set costs by finding a used set. The common belief with '09s is that "bigger is better". It isn't true, but don't try to tell that to the guy who just gave Lamar Waldon $30,000. for an engine. The engine I'm planning won't be bigger than 424cid, but I'm going to buzz it. Verne
