No news, unfortunately this project is back burner to my ebay store (still building and selling some Downey items, but now without employees). I also restore "old" car parts for resale (primarily 1920's to 1950's parts, newer stuff is mega re-pop), this keeps me busier than I wanted to be in retirement.
I have a MAF, its freaking high. Its ceramic coated, got the ball sockets on the collectors. Got to run the narrow runner intakes (I think 71 and up) Haven't put the engine in the truck yet but, I have ran it on the engine cart. Engine runs very well and is snappy, with open header. At $500.00+ I couldn't believe it, for a 6 cyl. header? Hopefully Downey's wont be so high.
I had thought about buying a header kit and making my own, then sending it off and have it coated. For someone who has the time this would be the way to go I think. Then you could build to suit how you wanted to route the rest of the exhaust.

JT header here. Had some issues with the weld fitment on the flanges, but were repaired in-house. Had the header flanges flattened with the intake before install-once the flanges got equal, the thing bolted up easily. Been on the rig for 4 yrs now with no issues(other than the occassional rust pits that pop up(sanding and VHT paint takes care of that)
Pics won't upload-sorry

Did you have to redo the welds? A machinist charged me $500 to take the flange down and reweld the header. There was such a huge warp on it the flange wasn’t even even after the machining.
Couldn’t get jt to seal. Maybe you had a better one than I did but the thing was garbage for me.
