Torque Monster style headers, aluminum heads

I know the Torque Monster style headers were built for GT40P heads. (I have OBX headers since TMH is unavailable)

I know aftermarket aluminum heads are based on the GT40 heads.

I want to go to a set of aluminum heads on my 5.0, but I dont want to deal with the headaches involved in running regular headers, nor do I want to go back to manifolds.

Does anyone have experience running the TMH headers on a set of aluminum heads? Specifically Trick Flow twisted wedge heads.

2002. 4 speed automatic.

I'm not really sure why that would have any effect on if the headers are compatible with the heads though, unless I'm really missing something big here

Makes all the difference in the world. Headers have to fit the heads, chassis and transmission bellhousing.

The torque monsters are already on my truck that has GT40P heads.

I need to know if I change the heads to a set of aluminum heads, if the headers I have will fit the new heads.

They should fit then. The exhaust bolt pattern is the same for all SBF heads. Only the plug angle was different on the P heads.

That's good to know. I can bolt the headers on on the bench to make sure theres no plug clearance issues before getting down in the engine bay
