394 exhaust flange ?
Are there different exhaust flanges on a 394? I have a 1963 394, and I ordered flanges from a custom header builder. When I got them they were completely different. He told me [from what I described to him] that I have a 455. Now I know for a fact that I have a 1963 394, I ran the numbers on the block, I have ordered exhaust and intake gaskets without a problem, I have even rebuilt the cylinder heads without so much a hiccup on ordering parts. The flanges that I have recieved look more like a 303-324? The guys building them swear that they are for a 394, I am sending them pictures. Reading a few things about a 394, '59-'61? are different from '62-'64? The exhaust ports look to be in the right spot, but the bolt holes are nowhere near mine. Thanks, Sam

Flanges were for 394, but not mine. Cut my losses and made my own.
Later acquired another 394. Its heads matched the flanges I had already given away.
