Hi guys,

I'm running PRO LIGHTNING GT40 heads on my 342 stroker. The problem is that the spark plug on the drivers side and at the front of the engine (#5 I think) intrudes on my tri-y headers. I have a friend with Tri-y's running on his 302 with no problem, but his heads are trick flows......

I have tweaked, dented, customized the tube to get around the plug, but it can't be good for unobstructed breathing. Does anyone have any experience with this situation and better yet a solution????

#1 OF MANY MANY QUESTIONS TO COME.

Thanks

GT40 Heads require special headers because they have a different plug angle.
