RMRE Header Flanges & Adapter Plates

SBC Header Flanges
     RMRE manufactures several header flanges for both small block and big block Chevrolet cylinder heads.  These flanges are CNC machined from 5/16" thick mild steel to provide a proper fit.  They are available for several different SBC heads and various primary tube sizes for use with and without adapter plates
     Racers switching from standard SBC heads to say 18º SBC cylinder heads can save their old headers.  You simply cut off your old flanges and weld the RMRE 18º flanges to your old headers.

BBC Header Flanges
     The holes for the primary tubes on our BBC header flanges are machined on a biased angle so the tubes are angled upward.  This matches the exit angle of the exhaust ports to improve axhaust flow.

Header Adapter Plates
     Small block Chevrolet 18º & Splayed Valve cylinder heads suffer from short exhaust ports. Once these 1/2" thick aluminum adapter plates are bolted in place you can port them to match you exhaust ports there-by increasing their length and improving performance. 
     The bolts that attach the plates are flush mounted into recessed holes. This and the staggered bolts pattern of our header flange provide increased clearance when using larger diameter primary tube headers.
     Note also that the bolt pattern for our adapter plates provide more clearance for the spark plugs and greater support for hanging the headers. (i.e. Note center plates have two holes at the top for greater support and one hole at the bottom).
