Cylinder Head Question
I have searched and searched but I cannot seem to find the answer I am looking for so I thought I would ask. Im in search of aluminum cylinder heads, but I would like them to fit headers with side pipes and air conditioning. I would love a set of AFRs, but I cant find a set of headers to fit them. Anybody out there running a similar set up or am I going to end up ditching the A/C?

My 76 has air conditioning. I use Hedman headers And the original ac bracket for my compressor works fine.these are the same headers that I used with cast iron heads before using AFR Aluminum heads and there is absolutely no fitment problem.

I have Brodix heads with Flowtech headers and A/C. You just need to extend the A/C bracket out enough to compensate for the thinner header flange vs the cast iron manifold where the bracket mounts. I used some simple pieces of galvanized 1/4" pipe cut to the right length and mounted between the header flange and the original bracket.
I assume you're asking about a C3 since you're in the C3 section.
