Gary Kosier,

Last week you stated "BUT, I bought the last set of Chevy
in a GMC headers that DynoSources had, figuring that I would
rework them for the Cad(common practice for Caddy lovers) But then I sorted out who made them. He said they were mandrel-bent on a computerized bender. I asked him to find the program and make me just the pipes and I would do the rest. No answer yet, but if his business is as slow as the rest of America, he'll
be back. How about that for long-winded?"

Jim Kanomata and I are trying to get headers made for my Chevy 502. Rather than trying to re-invent the wheel would you send me pictures of the Dyno Sources headers and contact info for the builder? Might save us a bunch of time and result in a better solution than trying to modify 455 Olds/Thorley headers.

All help will be much appreciated.

Hal,
The Dyno sources header is not designed for low end torque.
I went out of my way to start the project so lets complete it.
I do not believe in getting people to work with us then dropping it.
How would you feel.
There is lot of difference between the two.
Hal, if you do not want to do the project with us then say so now.
It is not about the money. It's all about my integrity at Thorly.
Hate to be so firm, but I do not work that way once I committed to Thorly.
