Hello, Can anyone tell me if the headers for the CSX7000 series will fit CSX2498. I have a new set from Cobra Res. and they are not fitting properly.

thanks for any info, Karl

Karl,

Send an email off to David Kirkham as he has the correct fitting headers for your car.

Bill S.

PS: We'll have to catch up with one another in February.......

Wilson Headers in Roswell, NM has the original jigs for the various Bellanger header applications for 289's -- street, nassau/road race, dragonsnake. I don't have their number, but you should be able to find it on an online phone book. Trouble is, I am 99% sure that they supply both Kirkham and Cobra Restorers. I have the road race headers and they work perfectly. Mark Wilson will probably be able to help you out.

I bought headers from Cobra Restorers many years ago (15?) and they didn't fit worth a darn. They were poorly manufactured and were not straight and flat across the surface that mates with the heads. I paid to have them properly aligned and they have worked well for all that time since then, but I sure was upset initially. they have held up well.

I bought a set from Cobra Restorers and I wasn't happy. The #5 pipe wasn't even close to correct. Others needed a bit of massaging but not all bad.
