Thread: Sanderson Headers

Tweet

Jim,

Thanks for the measurements and the photos. It looks like the collector and the extension flair out at a small angle. I was hoping that was the case. My '34 body is the same width at the widest point. It looks like there would be body clearance.

My big concern now is the rear pipe. The '32 has a flat firewall. The '34 has a kick-out towards the front, and the front pipe would clear the body by about a half inch. (I mocked it up with a wooden header flange and come 1-1/2" PVC pipe) I suspect that would cook my paint.

I'm also concerned about the ground clearance. This car is LOOOOWWW. I may need to change the front tires to bring it up a bit.

I suspect I'm going with the block huggers for a while rather than put out the $$$ for some custom work. Thanks again for helping with the decision.

As an afterthought, I wonder why Sanderson doesn't give the collecter/extensions about a 3* kick-up in order to compensate for the normal down angle of the motors.
