BTW, I called Thermal Tech Coatings, and they seem very knowledgable about coatings. I may actually give them a try. If I do, I will update this thread.
They have a turn around of 7-10 days. What is cool is that they are only 3 hours away from me, so shipping time is 1 day and around $13

doesn't need to be a lt1 head. i'm pretty sure the header will bolt up to any sbc head. if not then it may have to be a d-port head. it's a must or else you could have header flange leaks that you won't be able to get rid of which can blow out your gasket in a matter of a minute. what you may be able to do is bolt it up to your car, tack weld a spot, take it off and then you may be money.

ANY SBC head works, I used an old iron head. It is just to be make sure the flange is on the head surface so it stays flat when welded. Heck, a block of wood would work if you wanted to drill the holes and bolt the headers down on that....

The headers are sitting here in the office floor at work. Everyone is asking about them!

Weld it up as it is and then have it coated. If you coat and then weld you will have a spot there that is going to rust quickly.
I would get a SBC or LT1 head and attach it and have it welded. I just took mine to the local muffler shop and had the header on the head and they welded it up for $5 or nothing, cant remember. I used the head to make sure all was line up right and would not move after welding.
