The MPI Automotive MHF5225 is a 1¾in header flange listed to fit the Holden 253 and 308 V8 with the non-EFI head — the machined plate that mates a header or extractor set to the cylinder head, sold on its own as a fabrication and repair component.

What is a header flange and where does it sit?

A header flange is the thick, ported plate that bolts to the cylinder head and that the primary tubes of a header weld into. It sets the port pattern and the tube bore — here drilled for 1¾in primaries — and carries the bolt holes that locate everything to the head. It's a building block for fabricating or repairing extractors, not a complete exhaust part in itself.

Why the non-EFI head matters here

MPI lists this flange specifically for the non-EFI head on the Holden 253 and 308 V8. Port shape and bolt spacing differ between head castings, so the flange has to match the head you actually have — this one is cut for the carburettor-era non-EFI pattern, not the later EFI head. Getting that right is the whole point of buying a flange to a specific head.

Will it suit my Holden V8 build?

It's listed to suit the Holden 253 and 308 with the non-EFI head and 1¾in tube, with no other detail published, so we treat fitment as listed-to-suit and confirm against your head casting before it's used. As a raw component it's matched on port pattern and tube size rather than a bolt-on vehicle fit.

Common questions

What tube size is the MHF5225 drilled for?
1¾in primaries — that's the bore the flange is cut to accept where the header tubes weld in.
Will it suit an EFI Holden V8 head?
No — MPI lists this flange for the non-EFI head only. Confirm your head casting with the workshop before ordering.
Is this a complete extractor set?
No — it's the header flange alone, a fabrication component. Oak Flats Muffler Men, in the Illawarra, can advise on the rest of the build.
