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.

The steering box is one limiting factor...........
The limiting factor regarding header choices was the D-port exhaust. Doug's notes for my model 368 are 32, 56, 92, 93.

If needed the tube can be massaged a little more.
