. You can purshase the black ones then make sure they fit and take care of any problems then when you are happy with the fit you can send them off to be coated. And while they are out getting coated you can get a set of STS baffles for them.

A stock small block head has 1 1/2" square ports which is also the size of the standard exhaust gaskets. The vertical size is good but the lateral size is too small. So even for stock heads, the Super Comps are restrictive. Ideally, the port size in the header should be slightly larger than the port size in the head so there's a step on the downstream side of the gasket.
