Extensive Research Description
My research has focused on breast cancer and while it spans the spectrum of inquiry related to this disease process, the majority of it falls into several large themes:
Chest Wall Recurrence: I began to become very interested in chest wall recurrences (CWR) after mastectomy and did a number of studies in this area. Several findings were key and were significant contributions to the literature and in fact were practice changing.
(i) Prognosis: While it had previously been thought that all patients with CWR had a dismal prognosis, I was able to define a group in whom prognosis was not poor, and in whom aggressive management was warranted. I developed a clinical prediction model to assess prognosis in these patients. This is now widely used, and was quoted by every speaker in a plenary session at the American College of Surgeons on the management of CWR.
(ii) Reconstruction: I was able to demonstrate that patients who develop a CWR after having had breast reconstruction did not need to have their reconstruction taken down. This finding which allowed many women to maintain their reconstruction despite having a CWR won the best poster award at the Southwestern Surgical Congress.
(iii)Radiation: I defined not only the need for radiation therapy after CWR, but also added to the literature findings to support the use of post-mastectomy radiation therapy, which has now become widely accepted and supported by ASCO and ASTRO guidelines.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: Much of my work has focused on various issues surrounding sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in the management of breast cancer patients. I validated the subareolar injection technique in the world's largest series (4131 patients); this is now considered by many to be the optimal injection technique for SLNB. I elucidated, in one of the most widely quoted studies, the association between immunohistochemically detected sentinel node deposits and prognosis, a study which won me an ASCO Merit Award. I identified factors associated with a failure to identify a sentinel lymph node, which has encouraged surgeons to use dual tracer technique to optimize identification rates. I explored the use of lymphoscintigraphy and the finding of internal mammary nodes (IMN), finding that positive IMN nodes frequently do not change prognosis or management – this is one of the oft-quoted studies for why many surgeons do not routinely use lymphoscintigraphy or do IMN biopsies. I published that there was no difference in SLN-positivity rates based on biopsy type – a study that contradicted the myth that core needle biopsy could spread cancer cells into lymph nodes. This was important as excisional biopsy is now considered suboptimal, and needle biopsies are favored. Having an extensive background in SLNB, I acquired skills in clinical prediction modeling through my MPH at Harvard, and created a number of clinical prediction rules which have now been validated in a number of studies. I consider these seminal contributions to the literature, as these prediction rules allow for the prediction of (i) non-sentinel node metastases in SLN-positive patients using preoperative and intraoperative factors alone, (ii) the finding of four or more positive SLNs in patients with tumors
Mammography and Screening in Population-Based Studies: I have worked extensively with the National Health Interview Survey to understand trends in mammography and screening in the US population. I was one of the first to demonstrate that the recent decline in breast cancer incidence rates was not due solely to a reduction in hormone replacement therapy use, but also to a decline in mammography screening. I defined the use of mammography in various racial cohorts, and analyzed mammography usage based on risk stratifications. This work was cited by the US Preventative Services Task Force in their review of significant literature in their recent 2010 position statement regarding screening mammography. ·
Other: I have been interested in a potpourri of other studies, from identifying biomarkers in nipple aspirate fluid, to understanding the prognostic significance of concomitant DCIS in patients with invasive cancer (a study which won the best paper award at the Central Surgical Association meeting).
Large Database/Outcomes Research:
We use a series of large databases including the National Health Interview Survey, the National Cancer Database, and in house surveys to answer important clinical and outcomes questions. In particular, we have been interested in clinical prediction modelling, diversity and health equity issues, cancer screening and survivorship issues, and cost, quality and access to care.
Prospective Therapeutic Clinical Trials:
SHAVE: A randomized controlled trial of routine shave margins vs. standard partial mastectomy
A Chemoprevention Study of Black Cohosh in Women with DCIS
PREHAB: A randomized pre-surgical window trial of mindfulness vs. exercise on biomarkers in breast cancer patients
Collaborative Translational Research:
Understanding the intersection between clinical phenotype and intratumoral heterogeneity using whole genome next-generation sequencing (with Lajos Pusztai, MD, DPhil)
Modelling Human Immune System Interaction with Breast Tumors and Treatments in Mice (with Alfred Bothwell, PhD and Joanne Sweasy, PhD)
Capsacin and eosin in local therapy for breast cancer (with John Giebel, PhD)

If you're a gearhead, you've probably heard of SPEED TV's Dream Car Garage. The long-running show (currently in its eighth season) is hosted by Peter Klutt and Tom Hnatiw, two passionate car guys who work out of the Legendary Motorcar Company's sprawling facility near Toronto, Canada. Last year DCG filmed a one-hour special about restoring and racing a '69 L88 Corvette. With longtime vintage Vette racer Klutt at the wheel, the car was among the fastest in its class.
This season, the production team decided to modify a new Z06 and race it against the L88. After researching various tuners, they picked MTI Racing in Marietta, Georgia, to upgrade the newer car. MTI owner Reese Cox invited Team VETTE to Toronto to cover the build-up and get a behind-the-scenes look at how this popular show is produced.
We arrived at Legendary in a blinding snowstorm and were instantly amazed at the size of the facility. With over 40,000 square feet under roof, the company has plenty of room to restore, display, and sell cars in their inventory. We counted about 60 cars for sale during our visit, including Corvettes, Mustangs, Pontiacs, Camaros, Cobras, Mopars, and even Ferraris.
We up met with Reese and his associate Roman Hackett in the building's restoration facility. Soon after, we were introduced to Klutt, Hnatiw, and DCG VP of Marketing Adrian Chadwick, all three of whom were very supportive of VETTE's shadowing the weeklong filming process. Along with cameraman Dave Lostracco and sound producer Melissa Glidden, their goal was to film eight of Reese's 13 episodes over the course of the week.
Next, we checked out the Z06 test car, a black-over-gray '06 showing a little over 2,400 miles on the clock. Before any work began on the car, it was strapped down on Legendary's in-house Dynojet to get some baseline power numbers. With the hood open, the car's best pull registered 425.1 hp and 400.3 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels. Closing the hood produced readings of 409.4/389.10. Since most of us drive with our hoods closed, we decided to use the second pair of numbers as our baseline.
The first segments covered adding MTI Racing's Stage 1 Z06 package, which includes the following:
* Callaway Honker cold-air induction system
* MTI Racing spark-plug wires
* Denso iridium spark plugs
* Low-temperature thermostat
* MTI Racing stainless steel long-tube headers
* Random Technologies high-flow catalytic converters
* Random Technologies stainless steel X crossover pipe
Because the car is slated to see some aggressive road racing, Reese decided to also install one of Brembo's brand-new C6 Z06 brake-upgrade packages. The Brembo setup eliminates the stock front calipers' six-puck pad configuration in favor of a large, two-pad arrangement that offers more rotor-contact area. Every part in the package is manufactured to bolt directly onto the stock Z06 brake system.
When this install was completed, the MTI Racing team moved on to the Z06's suspension. They added their Stage 4 Road Racing setup, which does away with the stock mono-leaf springs in favor of coilover units. MTI uses Eibach springs with custom-valved Penske gas shocks. The suspension was finished with MTI's hollow-tube front and rear anti-roll bars.
Inside the car, a Brey-Krause C6 Harness Bar was added to help secure the G-Force five-point safety harnesses. An MTI Six-Shooter shifter was also installed to ensure fast, precise shifting on the open track.
Reese had experienced significant front-end lift in his Z06 development car during earlier testing at Road Atlanta. To combat this, he spent time in the wind tunnel to develop MTI's Z06 aero package. A return trip to Road Atlanta showed that the package's front splitter and rear wing made a big difference in lap times. Since the DCG Z06 would also be doing high-speed track work, Reese decided to install these aerodynamic aids on the car.
The final change involved the addition of Corsa's 3-inch stainless steel exhaust system. Installation was straightforward, and the quality of the materials was first-rate. Best of all, the modified exhaust provided a throaty, but acceptably muted, tone.
With poor weather ruling out a test drive, the car went straight back to the dyno for follow-up testing. Once Reese had tuned the Z's computer to work with the new modifications, the car recorded an impressive 489 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels. Thanks to the design of the Callaway intake-which draws air from outside the engine compartment-output remained constant, whether the hood was open or closed.
With the Z06 prepped to take on its vintage counterpart, all that remained was for the Dream Car Garage crew to orchestrate the on-track showdown. Team VETTE was invited back to report on the outcome, so stay tuned.

Some bonds allow prepayment, others don't
Among capital-appreciation school bonds that have become controversial across California, some allow prepayment as an escape hatch and others do not.
The bonds generally allow school districts to pay nothing for decades, then require large balloon payments with accrued interest that can eventually cost more than $10 for every dollar borrowed.
The Watchdog reviewed the five local bond deals with the least favorable debt ratios and found that three of them ban prepayment. Two of them do offer prepayment, an option that could reduce interest costs down the road.
The Santee School District, Southwestern College and Poway Unified School District all are locked into the long-term interest costs on the bonds. Oceanside Unified and San Ysidro School District can prepay most of their bonds if they come up with the money.
Santee has the least favorable debt ratio in the county, according to a statewide database compiled by the Los Angeles Times, with its borrowing of $3.5 million in 2011 that will cost $58.6 million to pay back over the life of the bonds. The deal allows no prepayment.
Southwestern Community College District borrowed $10.4 million bond in 2011, which will end up costing taxpayers $116.1 million. That deal also lacks a prepayment option.
Poway Unified School District's deal to borrow $105 million at a cost of $981.6 million also carries no prepayment option.
Southwestern and other districts suggested looking at the capital bond deals in the context of their overall borrowing programs.
"Southwestern College has always looked for the best combination of financing that would be the most cost effective for taxpayers. This particular financing combination ensures taxpayers are not paying anything more than 3.3 times the original amount financed," Southwestern Spokeswoman Lillian Leopold said. "That is considerably lower than the repayment amount of a conventional home mortgage."
San Diego Unified School District issued $88.9 million in capital-appreciation bonds in 2010 that will cost $630.4 million by the time they are paid off in 2047, also with no prepayment option.
Other districts have structured their borrowings differently, allowing for prepayment of their bonds decades before they mature, including the bonds issued by the San Ysidro School District in 2011. The $15.6 million in bonds mature in 2050 at a maximum repayment cost of $228.9 million, or $14.68 for every $1 borrowed.
All but $580,000 of San Ysidro's bonds can be prepaid without any penalty in 2023, an option that, if taken, could save taxpayers millions of dollars.
San Ysidro school board member Jean Romero said she hopes the district's future school board members and administrators take the prepayment option, and reiterated that there are no penalties for doing so.
"What we're anticipating is that the tax base for the homes in that area will rise with new construction and with hopefully the economy getting better and that we will be able to afford to prepay," Romero said. "If we can pay it ahead of time, it would benefit everyone. It just makes good economic sense. So, hopefully we're able to do that."

text: Surveillance camera footage uploaded to YouTube on Thursday shows a FedEx van driving down a street and out of the camera frame. Moments later, the truck rolls back in to the shot, with the driver frantically chasing it down the street. Miraculously, the delivery van narrowly misses a house before coming to a halt. From the video, it appears that some combination of a tree and its roots redirected the vehicle away from the home.

Brassicaceae or Cruciferae, also known as the crucifers, the mustard family or cabbage family is a family (the third lowest primary taxonomic rank) of flowering plants (Angiospermae). The name Brassicaceae is derived from the included genus Brassica. Cruciferae is an older name, it means "cross-bearing", because the four petals of their flowers are reminiscent of a cross. According to ICBN Art. 18.5 (Vienna Code) both Cruciferae and Brassicaceae are regarded as validly published, and are thus accepted as names for the family.
It contains over 330 genera and about 3,700 species, according to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The largest genera are Draba (365 species), Cardamine (200 species, but its definition is controversial), Erysimum (225 species), Lepidium (230 species) and Alyssum (195 species.)
The family contains well-known species such as Brassica oleracea (cabbage, cauliflower...), Brassica rapa (turnip, Chinese cabbage...), Brassica napus (rapeseed...), Raphanus sativus (common radish), Armoracia rusticana (horseradish), Matthiola(stock), Arabidopsis thaliana (model genetic organism) and many others.
A close relationship has long been acknowledged between Brassicaceae and the caper family, Capparaceae, in part because members of both groups produce glucosinolate (mustard oil) compounds. Recent research (Hall et al. 2002) suggests that Capparaceae as traditionally circumscribed are paraphyletic with respect to Brassicaceae, with Cleome and several related genera being more closely related to Brassicaceae than to other Capparaceae. The APG II system therefore has merged the two families under the name 'Brassicaceae'. Other classifications have continued to recognize Capparaceae but with a more restricted circumscription, either including Cleome and its relatives in Brassicaceae or recognizing them in the segregate family Cleomaceae. The angiosperm phylogeny website, has recently adopted this last solution, but this may change as a consensus arises on this point. This article deals with Brassicaceae sensu stricto, i.e. treating Cleomaceae and Capparaceae as segregate families.
The leaves are alternate (rarely opposite), sometimes organized in basal rosettes. They are very often pinnately incised and do not have stipules.
The structure of the flowers is extremely uniform throughout the family. They have four free saccate sepals and four clawed free petals, staggered. They can be disymmetric or slightly zygomorphic, with a typical cross-like arrangement (hence the name 'Cruciferae'). They have six stamens, four of which are longer (as long as the petals, so relatively short in fact) and are arranged in a cross like the petals and the other two are shorter (tetradynamous flower). The pistil is made up of two fused carpels and the style is very short, with two lobes. Superior ovary. The flowers form ebracteate racemose inflorescences, often apically corymb-like.
Pollination occours by entomogamy, nectar is produced at the base of the stamens and stored on the sepals.
The fruit is a peculiar kind of capsule named siliqua (plural siliquae, American English silique/siliques). It opens by two valves, which are the modified carpels, leaving the seeds attached to a framework made up of the placenta and tissue from the junction between the valves (replum). There is often an indehiscent beak at the top of the style and one or more seeds may be borne there. Where a siliqua is less than three times as long as it is broad , it is usually termed a silicula. The siliqua may break apart at constrictions occurring between the segments of the seeds, thus forming a sort of loment (e.g. Raphanus), it may eject the seeds explosively (e.g. Cardamine) or may be evolved in a sort of samara (e.g. Isatis). Unsurprisingly the fruit is often the most important diagnostic character for plants in this family.
The Brassicaceae do not form mycorrhizae, although rare exceptions do exist.
Most members share a suite of glucosinolate compounds that has a typical pungent odour usually associated with cole crops.
The importance of this family for food crops has led to its selective breeding throughout history. Some examples of cruciferous food plants are the cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, turnip, rapeseed, mustard, radish, horseradish, cress and watercress.
Matthiola (stock), Cheiranthus, Alyssum and Iberis (candytufts) are appreciated for their flowers. Lunaria (honesty) is cultivated for the decorative value of the tranlucent repulum of the round silicula that remains on the dried stems after dehiscence.
Capsella bursa-pastoris, Lepidium and many Cardamine are common weeds.
Isatis tinctoria (woad) was used in the past to produce the colour indigo.
Arabidopsis thaliana is arguably the most important model organism in the study of the flowering plants (Angiospermae).

Images from Japan Meteorological Agency satellite MTSAT via Bureau of Meteorology.
IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC chart on 04 July 2015 Issued at 5:52 pm EST Saturday on 04 July 2015 Middle level cloud over Victoria, northern New South Wales and the southeast parts of South Australia, is due to an upper level jetstream and upper level trough. The cloud band stretching across Tasmania and into the Tasman Sea, is associated with a cold front. Another cold front is approaching the southwest parts of WA, with cloud over far southwest WA ahead of the front. Low cloud can be seen along the east coast in a southeasterly airstream and over southern victoria in the southwesterly airstream. The remainder of Australia is relatively cloud free due to a high pressure system centred over the central parts of New South Wales. Ex-Tropical Cyclone "Raquel" remains slow moving near the Solomon Islands and is generating broad areas of convective cloud.

Why I Teach
Teaching is what I love to do because it never feels like a job. In my courses, I try to remain enthusiastic and passionate about biology so the students will gain a better appreciation for the study of life. It's extremely important to demonstrate to students how we, as scientists, assimilate research with concepts learned on a daily basis.
I believe it's essential for students to see how exciting and challenging science is to their professors. I convey this by engaging them in lively discussions and activities during the lecture.

Sunscreen and Skin Cancer
Thanks to our love affair with the sun, skin cancer is on the rise. With this in mind, taking precautions becomes paramount. So what about sunscreen? Can sunscreen protect you from skin cancer?
This is an important question. With more than 2 million people diagnosed in the U.S. annually, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. These numbers don't even include melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. Although most cases are highly curable, especially when detected early, treating skin cancer can be costly and difficult.
There are three main forms of skin cancer: basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. Like other cancers, skin cancer is influenced by genetics, so those with a family history of skin cancer are at higher risk. The most obvious sign of this genetic relationship is skin type. Fair-skinned people are at greater risk than darker-skinned people. However, the major culprit in the rise of all forms of skin cancer, regardless of genetics, melanoma included, is sun exposure.
Years ago, a golden tan was considered unfashionable and people went to great lengths to protect themselves from the sun. Many of us have seen old photographs showing women at the beach in floor-length dresses with long sleeves. Gradually, however, modest outfits gave way to bikinis and generations of sun worshipers were born.
How the sun damages skin
We used to think that it took decades for sun damage to accumulate, and that skin cancer developed no sooner than middle age. Now younger and younger people are being diagnosed. The reason for this change is not clear. It could relate to more sun exposure because of more leisure time, or even increased use of tanning parlors. Light-skinned races, such as Caucasians, are the most vulnerable. But African-Americans and those with darker skin are not immune, although they develop skin cancer far less frequently.
What role does the sun play? The sun is a source of radiation, which it emits in two main types of rays: UVA (ultraviolet A) and UVB (ultraviolet B). Although the UVA rays produce less skin redness than the shorter UVB rays, these longer rays, can also damage skin cells. Ultraviolet rays not only cause skin cancer, but also cause other effects from the sun, such as wrinkles and age spots. These skin changes were once attributed solely to aging, but experts now recognize that they are the results of long-term sun exposure. Those who live in sunny climates year-round have higher skin cancer rates. But don't be fooled; radiation from the sun can also occur on cloudy days, so sun protection is important no matter where you live and whether or not it's sunny outdoors.
How sunscreens protect you
Sunscreens are protective substances. They extend the length of time you can be outdoors before your skin begins to redden, but they don't give you total protection. Using sunscreen doesn't give you liberty to stay out in the sun indefinitely, since damage to the skin cells is still occurring.
How to pick the right sunscreen
You can judge the protectiveness of a sunscreen against UVB rays according to its sun protection factor (SPF). For instance, if your skin usually burns after 10 minutes, a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 extends this to 2.5 hours (10 minutes multiplied by the "15" protection factor = 150 minutes). Here are some general recommendations for sunscreen from the American Academy of Dermatology:
Everyone should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
Look for broad spectrum sunscreens that block both UVA and UVB radiation.
Sunscreen labeled "water resistant" offers about 40 to 80 minutes of protection, depending on how manufacturers label it.
But if SPF 30 is good, isn't a higher number better? Perhaps, but it depends on your individual characteristics. For instance, if you're particularly fair skinned, live at a high altitude where the sun's rays are stronger, or spend a lot of time outdoors, you may want to choose a sunscreen with a higher SPF number.
How to be in the sun safely
Follow these tips for safe sunning:
Use sunscreen year-round, even when it's cloudy outdoors.
Whether you prefer your sunscreen in the form of a cream, oil, lotion, or gel is up to you. However, some oils have very low SPF levels. Remember, too, that you need to reapply all sunscreens periodically, and you need to reapply gels more often. New continuous spray sunscreen may make it easier to apply sunscreen to hard-to-reach areas.
Apply sunscreen generously. When applied too skimpily, the SPF may be half that advertised on the product.
Choose sunscreen labeled "water resistant." Also, choose a sunscreen labeled "broad spectrum," meaning it screens out both UVA and UVB rays.
Seek shade when appropriate. Limit your sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when ultraviolet rays are the strongest.
Apply the sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before going outdoors. If you're going swimming, or if you're doing an activity that causes you to sweat, reapply the sunscreen afterward, and again every two hours.
Wear a hat with a wide brim and tightly woven clothing that covers most of your skin, as well as sunglasses.
Protect your children as well. Teach older children safe sun habits, including playing in the shade, wearing protective clothing, and applying sunscreen. Keep infants under age 6 months out of direct sun, keep their skin covered, and use an umbrella over their stroller. Use sunscreen on infants beginning at age 6 months.
Tanning beds and sun lamps
Many people believe that the UV rays of tanning beds are harmless because sunlamps in tanning beds emit primarily UVA and little, if any, UVB, the rays once thought to be the most hazardous. Plus, they are regulated by the FDA.
But no matter what the regulations say, these lamps do emit UVA rays, and UVA rays can cause serious skin damage, too, which can lead to skin cancer. Experts have linked tanning lamps to the most serious form of skin cancer, melanoma. Because of the dangers, health experts advise people to avoid sunlamps for tanning.

How many cubes can you stuff into a midyear Corvette before you say enough is enough? 350? 396? 454?
What if we let you in on the inside story of a red-on-red, previous NCRS winner '66 Corvette coupe that's now stuffed with 572 cubic inches of pure GM big-block power?
"I bought my '66 Corvette to go fast, but I was disappointed in its performance," Leroy Gonzalez, a shopping-center developer in Seffner, Florida, tells VETTE. "That's why it's now powered by a GM Performance Parts 572/620hp big-block."
The '66 Corvette was the fourth year of the marque's second generation. A total of 9,958 coupes and 17,762 convertibles were built, for a production total of 27,720 units. Of these, 9,755, like Leroy's, were optioned with the base-model 327/300hp Chevy small-block engine.
To transform his mediocre-mill midyear into a maniacally meteoric missile, Gonzalez put out a call to AntiVenom, a Corvette performance shop also in Seffner. "Leroy came to me and didn't know what he wanted to do with his Corvette," Greg Lovell, the shop's owner explains. "I offered to transplant a 505hp LS7 into the car, but he thought it wasn't impressive enough. He said that it had already been done many times in the hobby; instead he wanted something brutal, flashy, and intimidating."
After doing his research, Lovell decided the most impressive, yet streetable, crate engine offered by GM was the Deluxe 572/620. "When I saw it described in the GM Performance Parts (GMPP) catalog as 'the coolest collection of orange, chrome, and aluminum you've ever seen,' I knew it was the right motor for this Vette. The 620 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque sure didn't hurt our decision either," he says.
Dr. Jamie Meyer, GM Performance Parts Marketing Manager, agrees. "This is flat-out the baddest street Rat available that still happily runs on pump gas. Everything was designed to offer you the ultimate big-block experience. That's why we've given it the title 'King of the Street.'"
GMPP ships the Deluxe 572/620 crate engine turnkey, meaning it includes a single-plane aluminum intake, a Demon 850-cfm carb, Chevy-script valve covers, an electronic distributor, spark plugs and wires, an oil pan, and a starter. The buyer just has to add engine accessories, pulleys, and brackets. It features a cast-iron block with four-bolt mains, a 4.560-inch bore, a 4.365-inch forged-steel crank, shot-peened forged-steel connecting rods, and forged-aluminum pistons. It's topped with aluminum, rectangular-port heads with 112cc combustion chambers, 2.25/1.88-inch stainless steel valves, and 1.7:1 aluminum roller rockers. A 254/264-degree-duration hydraulic roller cam with 0.632/0.632-inch lift actuates the valvetrain, and compression sits at a premium-friendly 9.6:1.
To propel the transformation, Lovell removed the Corvette's original, numbers-matching 327/300 and bagged it for safekeeping. Then, confronted with the task of making the 572, its engine accessories, and the requisite cooling and braking hardware all fit within the close spaces of the Corvette's engine bay, he got to work.
"Physically, the 572 will bolt right into place in a midyear Corvette," Lovell says. "However, the factory-supplied oil pan comes extremely close to the ground; I swapped it out for a Milodon unit."
There were other challenges, too. "There was no room left for a GM power-steering reservoir or vacuum-assist power brakes. I had to hunt for a junkyard-jewel reservoir that would fit, and extracted one from a Lexus. A Hydroboost system met our space requirements, but just barely," he laughs. "In addition, I couldn't locate any off-the-shelf headers to mate up to the 572. Luckily, I was able to modify a set of Stainless Works '63-'82 big-block headers for clearance around the steering box."
