When I owned those heads -- I whacked the 3 and 5 tubes and extended them out to the driver side about an 1" or more (can't remember the exact number)... all it cost me was a cermachrome job on the one side header.

This mod entailed a LOT of work -- and lucky for me Stans Headers is not far from me and I'm one of the two people that Stan actually likes (that's a relative term) so they were very helpful making bends etc for me.

I had to cut the tubes to free the flange - mill out the remainder of 3 and 5 from the flange without enlarging the hole... mock stuff up -- get new 3 and 5 tubes... weld it all back up and.... Well -- it was more work than it was worth but it was a challenge and I like a challenge.

There are headers made for STRAIGHT PLUG heads.... but nobody will sell you just the one side.
