    header info

    will a regular set of 23 deg. tri y headers fit a 604 motor?

    When you say "regular" are you refereing to the bolt pattern or the port style or both

    the 604 GM crate engine has a stock chevy bolt pattern however the port design is unique and will require a header with a very large port or a header with a port designed specifically for the head.

    the crate port is a D shape design but is raised above the bolt centerline.

    it is a very common mistake to bolt on a header that covers the top 1/4" or more of the exhaust port

    the best check is to match a gasket to the head and then see how it matches to the header

    ***you never want the header flange to cover any part of the exhaust port***
