Dougs Headers

Dougs Headers
Hi All - I have a 71 Cutlass Supreme conv.. I am swapping the stock 350 to a 1970 455 W30 motor. I was thinking of using Doug's Headers, but the Doug's website says their headers fit 442's, Cutlasses and Vista Cruisers. But not Cutlass Supreme's. I called Petronix and the guy told me it was because of the box frame. This made no sense to me, I can't see what the difference should be. After all, they made the 442 in a convertible.
Last 455 I built I used Hooker's but have heard the Doug's were better?
Any thoughts - any experiences?
Thanks....Tim

Ignore any footnotes in header ads. Why the header manufacturers perpetuate this bad info is a mystery. I have personally tried to correct several header manufacturers and only get form letters blowing me off.

Dougs versus Hookers
Hey Joe - thanks for the reply - confirms my feelings. I truthfully got the impression the guy was reading off some sheet and didn't really know what he was talking about. Any thoughts on header brands, Doug's versus Hookers?
Thanks...T

I have those headers on my 70, had another 70 had them also, and my son has a set on a SS chevelle. They are great headers for the money. Mine are there reagular headers, and look great after 5 years. My son ordered his coated, and they really look nice.
