Thread: looking for headers

Tweet

I have 400sbc (70-73 block) with 70-76 heads. I am looking for a decent set of block hugger headers. so far I have found Sanderson. could anybody recommend a good company to go with

thanks for your time

Can't recommend anyone, but I can give you a list so you can surf through them and find what you need.....;

Hard to beat the quality of Sanderson.....

I put a set of 1 5/8 Hooker super competition block huggers on my '35 Master back in the mid 90's. I've had no problems with them. Thick flanges and priced under $200. If you run across some 1 5/8 or 1 3/4 longtubes to fit our old chevys let me know.

Or, if you build weird stuff like I do, your header's come looking like this...some assembly required!!!!! Would you believe nobody makes fenderwell headers for an '82 Camaro??????


Maybe the engine setback killed the application??????

i done the U and J bends deals i have had to use the O s as well dave

Started doing the cutouts in the fenderwells last night, not too bad. Should be a fairly easy build as far as stepped fenderwell headers go!!!!!

hey i be rigth over to give to a hand step tubes are EZ you can over lap no butt up to tig so the fit up is not half the time you would do on a std set ,i would like to do mine 2 1/2 or 2 3/8 then step them down going to flow the big chief head with a test pipe on it try the 2 1/2 and see what numbers looks like on the flow bench

I'll do these with 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" with the 3 1/2" collectors like you suggested.

I'll probably end up doing that some day.

with that thumping sbc them headers should work good what are you going to do if that chevy put a smille on your face ??? i know your going to sell it

If you end up with Sanderson's, I suggest that you buy them uncoated so you can clean up the stuck on MIG wire tag ends and tube overlaps inside plus smooth out the head to flange fit up. Mine took several hours with a die grinder and some various length burs before I was satisfied - then off to Jet-Hot for their near chrome appearing coating.
