Probably easier to drill and tap the heads to the conventional bolt pattern

Dont fuk up those headers to fit those outdated heads. Buy brodix 298 RR or AFR 300 heads, run an edelbrock dual plane. Should make lots of torque and more power than a normal 525.

Not sure on the Brodix, but you cannot find a set of BB AFR heads for like 12 weeks. (maybe you can get the Enforcer heads, but the magnums are unobtainable).
