square port headers? I have a chevy 383 stroker with world heads part #wrl-014150-2 (angled plugs) purchased from summit, and I can't find any headers on there website that will fit these heads. The heads have square port exhaust ports and summit only has oval port headers. I need square port headers. Does anyone know where I can get square port headers from that will fit these heads and my car, A-body (64 buick skylark)? I was going to call but I thought that I would try here first. Thanks.

Chevy,
Can you clarify which Summit headers (mfg. name) you mean that have "oval ports" and fit your chassis? That terminology generally refers to some BBC intakeports.
Pray is correct, our exhaust ports are "rectangular" and configuration is no different than anyone elses. Our ports are not raised either to cause a header location problem.
Virtually all manufacturers headers will work with our heads if they fit your chassis.

Thanks all for the info. MerlinPro, Here is an example from summit, Hooker headers part #HOK-2451-1HKR. Under the discription it says, cylinder Head Port Shape: oval. That is what got me confused. The reason why I would like to go with these headers is that they are made for a 64 chevelle, which is an A-body like my 64 skylark, so it should fit the car. I just was not sure about the ports matching up with my head ports being square shape. And I just realized that these headers will not fit angle plugs. Thanks again for your help, I now know what headers to get.

Hedman makes a header with a more square tube design in 1-3/4" primaries. I know the ones used on my Nova are #65003, and those may work for A-body as well.
