Nice, what year did you get them for? That is, for what year and model did you order them.
It looks like you have either a '65 or a '66, but neither of those years is listed in the website.
He lists the headers for FEs in the years '65 - '76, but not for 385s in them. Or did I miss something?
Did you use factory type engine perches? The 3-piece that is?
Also, can you remove the starter without removing the headers?
How much were they?

truck is a 65, the part number on the headers are,248Y, i talked to stan and told him my application, showed him the pics of my headers i had and had problems with, he sent me these, even cam with my last name stamped in them and when they were made, pretty kewl,,,,i dont know what kinda mounts these are, i bought the truck as is, the guy i bought it from bought it about 8 years ago and did nothing to it, it sat in his garage, i think the starter can be changed, im going with a mini starter when i go back with it, so it shouldnt be a problem,so here is a picture, the perches are mounted on the frame and on the crossmember,maybe someone will know the set up,

Yeah, I can not find any "off the shelf" application to fit my '61 with a 390 in it. I can't believe I'm the only guy to want headers on a early slick with the Carolina Classics FE conversion cross member. I even called Carolina Classics asking if they had any recommendations. Much to my surprise and disappointment, they were of no help at all. Not even a little. FPA is local to me, so I need to make a road trip to see them sometime and get them to hook me up.

I have an old set of Hookers that are guaranteed to leak at both ends & drive you nuts.
