I don't know, Rick - the header in your pix looks a lot more like the 
Supersprint unit that the one in the link you just fwd'd except w/ a 
reinforcement bracket welded into the head port flanges...and if it is, 
you're better off anyway.

This is the Supersprint unit:

If it is the Supersprint model, I'm sure you can get new coupling. Go here:
