I have a set of the headers made by Bruce Silva in Sacramento that I want to sell. It turns out that they only work for twin H and I am using a single carb aluminum intake manifold on my 50C6. I paid $850 plus I had them Electro coated (like jet coat) here locally for $180. I will sell them for what I have in them plus postage. They are perfect. my home email is: "richardlauraine@cox.net" phone is (760) 751-0590. I am in Escondido, CA. Let me know if you are interested. I can email you a picture if you are interested. Otherwise I plan to return them to Bruce for a refund. I would like to save him the trouble. Richard Esparza

    ok richard i'm curious not interested just curious. Other than the second heat tap, what makes it twin h specific? since that in itself wouldn't pose a problem there must be more to it. I am guessing there is a fuzz more clearence at 3/4 on a twin h intake though it can't be much as they both must match up with the same exhaust casting.

    It absolutely won't fit! I considered taking a hammer to it, but decided that would be a travesty, so I am passing this on to someone who can use it. I believe that Bruce only made 10 sets and he doesn't plan to do anymore. I wish that I could use it!

    I have known Bruce for years and everything he sells is high quality.

    Is it a Hudson aluminum manifold or a store bought unit? Walt.

    I think I would look into another intake before I dumped a set of $1000 headers?



    I never get what I paid for any high dollar car parts???





    Good luck

    For a stepdown 6 cyl, a dual outlet exhaust manifold adapter for $175 sound pretty reasonable. Just for consideration. Hudsonly, Bob

    FYI

    I suggest modifying the Intake Manifold if possible, or install a Twin H Intake rather than sell those beautiful Headers.

    Hudson 308, you are correct. I am using a '48 - '49 Hudson aluminum intake manifold. It is polished up and it looks great. It is not compatible with the exhaust system that was used on the Twin H. I really am not interested in installing Twin H, that is why the headers are for sale. Apparently there are no takers, so I will return them to Bruce Silva.
