Who knows something about Patterson Marine Headers. I can't find a company website or any information about them.

Thanks,

These look interesting. Can't seem to find out anything about them. They are a slightly different design than I've seen in the collector area. I think they must use a collector tube after the main collector but it isn't mentioned in the ad.

Murph they sure look interesting like you say, but it looks like a Saws All job is in order to fit them. Don't see any collector just the final dump.

Make sure the bolt pattern is compatiable with your heads, most of the old small block Patterson's that I have seen were for race heads that had relocated exhaust ports and bolt holes, they used to make adapters for them but I don't know if they are still available.

Murph just looked at photos again they are race pattern, notice only 3 bolts a side. They must have used cross bracing, I noticed the studs and drilled ears by the outlets. Adapters could be easily made, I still think they are to tall and the hatch will have to be modified.

The ad says they come with an adapter bracket for OEM head bolt pattern. I've emailed the seller twice to get a height dimension and it appears he's not that interested in selling cause I haven't heard back. I agree, it looks like they're too tall to fit under the lid anyway.
