Recently purchased a set of Patterson headers for this project, was wondering if anyone could give me some information about the company, and also what needs to be done to "rebuild" them to new condition.
Thanks in advance, Harry.

"rebiuld" headers? thats a new one on me. Pressure check em to make sure they dont; leak. If they do leak weld the leaks.
other than that i suppose the ony way to "rebiuld" a header woudl eb to buy some pipe and bend it to eth exact dimentsion and shape as teh current headers and weldup a new set.

Puder, I guess thats what I was looking for - where can I have them pressure tested, and is Patterson still in business?

Presure testing is pretty easy. Hook up a water hose to them , plug or cap the outlet, and look for leaks. Now fixing them, well, that depends on where the leak is.
BTW welcome to the board. Let's see some pics of the Mistress.

Did Patterson make jacketed headers? I thought they just made water injected units like Bassets.
Be aware that you CANNOT use anything in an enclosed compartment unless it is fully water jacketed.
