I'm looking at having a custom header fab'd by Stan's Headers here in Seattle. Their headers are 14 & 16 gage with a 3/8 flange. They also use digitally controlled mandrel benders! I bought a set for my B/B P/U a while back and was very impressed. You guys may want to check them out if you don't want to mess around with fit issues, stansheaders.com. I'll still need to improve intake airflow & possibly a ecu chip. All together should wake it up quite nicely.
