Sorry it took so long to get back here and post a reply, but i've been fairly busy. Anywho, we have the Merlin 2 tall deck with Dart Pro-1 heads. Our main concern is the drivers side steering box and frame. Also we have a problem with spark plug clearance. With the new headers would we need to put on a 90 degree boot straight? 45? Finally, what would the approximate wait time be? Thank you for you time
