    Headers for 63 gal with 390??

     



    Hi guys just a quick one for you all,

    I need to get some headers for my galaxie. 63 Hardtop with a 390. This car was assembled in Australia so it is Right Hand drive. The trouble is getting the right ones to fit. Ive seen those hooker long tube headers on Ebay, I was hoping maybe a more compact looking setup. I can make some small mods to them to get them to fit but I do want minimal modification. Having the steering box on the right side does pose a bit of a problem when it comes to fitting them in. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Look at Hooker Super Comps. Maybe the two rear tubes on the right side can be
    adjusted to fit.

    If that doesn't work talk with Sandersons on the web at http://www.sandersonheaders.com/
    A few people here have gone with them and had custom sets made for a reasonable price.
