another header ?? lingenfelter headers
ok i have what i am fairly certain is a pair of ling headers (bought used) they look like the lingenfelters and they are heavy .. at any rate my question / dilema is this.. the head ports on my L98 are d shaped aluminum heads angle plugs... the headers are more of an round port design... what header gaskets do you guys use... i am looking for people that have lingenfelters installed and know for sure.. i want to use earls gaskets but not sure which to order.. i know there are a few of you on here that have this set up...

Make sure the headers don't block the upper part of the D port. If they do, elongate the holes vertically and slide them upwards. Use round gaskets of an appropriate size for the header.

thats what i am thinking with the way the d-port gaskets match the headers it looks like they will leak at the bottom... with i don't have a set of round port gaskets to check with,,,

Almost forgot, Stainless Works in the 1 5/8" primary size. Manual trans fitment only at this time, though.
