I'm putting a B-based 451 in a '68 Valiant and I'm trying to decide what to do about the headers. The TTIs are too pricey ($850!) for my budget, the schumachers are too small (1 5/8" primaries), so I think I'm going to try the headman B-body headers. I'd prefer to buy them pre-coated but I'm wondering if anything happens to the coating when you dimple the headers to fit the chassis? Has anyone dimpled their coated headers without damaging the coating? I can always buy them just painted, then dimple them, and then have them coated, but I'd rather get them coated from the start if I can get away with it.
Thanks...
