Best Mount for Thorley headers

I am planning on purchasing the THY-323Y-C Doug Thorley Headers with the 1-7/8's primaries for my 6.0 swap. I am very slowly gathering information for what parts to buy and looking at options.

My question is what stands and mounts does everyone have the best luck with? I purchased a CPP set from my brother that he planned on using in a old project, but from what I read they do not fit with the 323y's. They are the tubular stands.

I would like to keep the factory a/c compressor, to work with my Olde Air A/c setup already in my truck, and of course use the 323y's.


Any suggestions for a set of stands and mounts? Can I make my factory V-8 stands work?


Thanks in advance for your answers and patience. I will be on here often in the coming months.

Re: Best Mount for Thorley headers

I have the CPP sheet metal stands with dirty dingo sliders... but there is no way the stock Compressor mount will work with my setup... maybe if you change out the mounts for something solid vs adjustable it might work... I ended up buying the holley high mount kit for my compressor... have not installed it all yet but it is specifically made for my motor so I don't think there will be any problems...

ECE mounts are the only aftermarket mount that I know of that will allow the use of the factory AC compressor.
