I'd think yes they would be in the $500 range painted. Ceramic coated run closer to $700+.
The super comps have 16 hole flanges so it's not the bolt pattern that's the problem. It's the lowered ports on the C8 heads. If you noticed in those pics the C8 ex ports are almost 1/4" lower. You can use the 8 bolt pattern on your heads. It's just a little difficult to get the bottom header bolts in and make tight. But it can be done. And with the smaller header bolts they have today not all that bad. So there is a very good the chance the super comps would leak. You really can't grind away that much on the Hooker header without extensive modifications to it. That's why I suggested the FPA's. In the near future the 390 with C8 heads in my car is coming out. I planned on taking pics of the 6114's bolted to the C8 heads for future information. But that's not for a few months still. But you'd clearly see the problem. I'd try calling FPA if you've not heard from them. Your emails might have ended up in their spam box. I'm using a ex gasket made by Remflex. They are made for sealing uneven head and exhaust surfaces. If you've ever seen the flanges on the 6114's there is about a 1/16" lip around the tubes where they poke thru the flange. At $60 a pair for the gaskets I'm hoping they work well.
