Tight Tuck headers are the solution to many problems associated with
engine swaps in modern street rods. Tight Tucks fit in the tightest
of engine compartments and clear all stock motor mounts. Patriot's applications
include headers for small and big block Chevy engines, small block and
Flathead Ford engines and small block Mopar engines. Each header is
manufactured from durable 16-gauge tubing and comes complete with gaskets,
header bolts and collector reducers (excluding part # H8019). |
Tight
Tuck headers are available in three finishes; raw finish for individual
customizing, chrome finish for that show quality shine or with Patriot’s
very popular metallic ceramic coating. |
| Note: Headers are non-returnable unless they are absolutely new in the original packaging with un-opened hardware. Any scratches or other damage renders them as "used" making them impossible to sell to another customer. |
