You can find the lord mounts at McMasterCarr in the long parts thread ... I'm sure it's listed in there somewhere. And, I'd say run it ... I used to race back in the day using that pipe, and the minute my lord mount went, the pipe came off and filled the engine bay with exhaust and water ... not fun.

I used to run it on a non-girdled ROGO head, and ran it for 7 years without a problem. No cracks, and I'd estimate it got 5-6 hours of run time per week for 5 years straight, if not more.

If you're worried about water spots, which WILL happen on that pipe, I'll see if I can remember what I found to take them off ... it was some kind of pad that came in a navy blue can, that's all I know for now.

But, RUN THE LORD MOUNTS!

Not worried about the water spots. It's all good. But I have the lord mounts at home, just was debating wether or not to run them. Got more work to do when I get more parts in.

The lord mount will reduce the amount of shaking & vibrating of the pipe which can lead to cracking. $10 well spent.

yeah, i have a lord mount at home, just gotta get it to fit right really. the threads in the "bolt" part of it seems to be smaller than the threads in the head. so doesn't really fit right.
