Coincidentally, I was watching the episode of "My Classic Car' on Gary Walker's Pantera and now believe we may be confusing two different brands, if Dennis Gage is to be believed there was also an outfit supplying aftermarket parts called "Hal" 😊

FWIW I'm pretty sure the ones I had were of the square flange design, but they were sold long ago so no way to verify.

Les,
Yes people have suggested that. But would those fit on a regular 351C?
Larry Stock sent me a photo of a ton of headers in a box and I thought most of not all were the round port style?
