Hi Brad, thanks for the e-mail. We design all our headers using a glide because of the shifter linkage being offset towards the frame. We are using Anthony Jones motor mounts to locate the engine. We will be able to build any tube size you need and fit it for different head types. It will fit angle plug or straight plug heads and we can make it a step or non stepped design. I hope to have it ready for production before the holidays. Thanks again, Dan Lemons.
