Glenn83 19 Report post Posted April 4, 2014 Does anyone know if the dougs mid length 1-3/4 primary headers will work with 408w-afr205 heads with slightly raised exhaust ports, if not got any recommendations on some good headers?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxum96 32 Report post Posted April 4, 2014 I run Accufab headers on my AFR 205's. The headers use the wider bolt pattern. I got the headers plain steel and had them coated after I "adjusted" them for my scatter shield and welded collector rings on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glenn83 19 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Chillin I might be interested in them but I've read somewhere on another forum they won't work with afr205 heads, I don't know how much fact there is in that statement though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Mac 48 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks. They were helpful and very easy to deal with. Maxium, they are very nice looking header and its great they dropped right in.... My experience with accufab is completely opposite. At the time I bought accufab headers, I had a completely stock (Bell housing, motor mounts etc) setup 351w except AFR205 heads. I had to wait like 8 weeks for the header and then they would not fit unless at least three tubes were basically replaced. Accufab wanted me to pay $$ and shipping to have them fixed. George at Accufab said they were custom and he wouldn't take them back. What a total D++k. I had to have visa go after him for a credit. After research these headers I came to the conclusion they were made for 65 /66 351w conversion. Apparently he thought that if they fit a 65 they should fit a 70. If you have a problem with accufab consider it to be a total loss, use your visa to protect yourself and document everything. Accufab is worst supplier I have ever worked with. I would buy FPA header any day, great fit, quality and customer service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But on the flip side of the coin, the FPA headers I bought before the Accufab headers didn't fit and I had to send them back. I will say Stan at FPA was easy to deal with for me. But I have heard others have issues with him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Mac 48 Report post Posted April 12, 2014 My FPA's fit perfect even with a rack and QT bell. The Accufabs are well made.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
