Summit has 0 of these headers in stock.I just checked with their wholesale side and they said 0 are in stock and they would drop ship.$500+ shipping is a steal! I can not even buy them for that much.I would check that who ever is doing the group purchase has them in stock ready to ship!

well i have a guy thats selling them to me at the $500 price and im the one that started the gp. ill check with him to make sure they are in stock. if not, it wouldnt be any different than getting them from someone else. if edelbrock doesnt have them, nobody has them.

i put mine in my 70 last night and they worked perfect. where are yours hitting? 64-67 or 68-72? you may not have the motor back far enough. if you didnt spin your mounts or if you dont have the edelbrock plates they might not fit.
when i first dropped my motor in the stock location, i had about 5" from the head to the firewall. thats been taken care of.
the coating is kind of lame, but when was the last time you saw a painted looking header hold up to heat. i actually real like the coating. these are perfect for the non bling guys. ill see how they look with my finished product but i may have them coated again to make them shiny.
btw, the quality looks excellent. nice welds and heavy duty construction. and although the color looks like a paint color, i dont think they actually look that way.

Ur mounts with L460E The paint we are using is a ceramic based coating and will actually get harder with time and heat, it will not dull or change colors. The Edelbrock Headers will not work with just any engine mounting plates, most of the others on the market move the engine way too far forward in the chassis, with the Edelbrock Engine Plates (6701) the engine sits in the correct location for superior weight distribution. Also with the engine in its correct location things like shifter linkage line up in the OEM brackets so column shifters can be retained, or if you desire to keep the current transmission in the vehicle then all the mounts and driveshaft will be the same.
