Hi,

Happy New Year!

We have retrofitted the Redeye crate engine successfully to my project car. Since I had a 5.7 fitted in it before, obviously the same headers don't fit anymore to the heads. The stock exhaust manifold the crate came with also don't fit since they are sitting too wide in the engine bay.

I need your help choosing the right headers that will keep very close to the engine (the steering linkage doesn't leave much room on driver side) and that would leave room also for the oil dipstick. I use the Holley Hellcat oil pan with Holley dipstick.

My issue is that I live in Eastern Europe and returning any parts to the seller is not possible. I hope you can help me choose the right product.

Here are some images that perhaps help you get an idea...
