After looking and bidding for the last 6 months I finally won the bid for a set of Stahl pattern header adapters!!! Only paid $58.50, including shipping!! :rollside:
Now I can bolt up the Bassett's on the Tahiti. Next I need to get my hands on a Banderlog valve...... Hint Hint!!!
Anyone got one handy?:wink:

I might have a Banderlog water injection valve for sale soon. I am not sure if I am going to use it or not on the new engine. I bought it last year and it pretty much looks band new I only had it on the boat for a couple months.

Send me an PM with a price and I'll talk to the wife (If momma ain't happy, aina't nobody happy). Actually my part time concert and security work pays for the boat parts.... :cool:

MikeF,
Here's a pic of the flange on the header, looks like standard Stahl pattern (I sure hope it is at this point, anyway). If you look close you can see why they need to go to Jet Hot....

SAhit, I just looked closer at the pics' (adapters aren't here yet) and they are the wrong adapters (or the wrong headers???) the outer boalt holes are backwards.... Well, I suppose I can cut them apart and swap the end pieces around to fit, or use them as a template to make my own, and resell them??

You can cut the ends off and flip them over. A lot of the adapter kits are three piece...in fact, that's the first one I've seen that was one piece.

What's the ticket on header adapters to go from BBF to BBC headers?

Looking at it, seems the easiest solution would be to re-drill the holes in the header. Looks like plenty of material and enough room for the bolts. Just my $0.02 worth.

Not enough material to redrill, as the outer holes would need to be where the header flange is wedged off. Easiest way is going to be to cut the adapters apart and swap the end pieces around as needed. I may make a set, or at least a template, if anyone wants a set of adapters. If I made them they would have both patterns on them, to prevent others from having this problem.
