Re: headers

A woody! LOL

Yep, custom built to fit the car/engine. Because of the difference in frame crossmembers between the full size cars and the Chevelle, the original manifolds would not work. I also had to notch out part of the oil pan and switch to manual steering but other than that, it bolted right in. (after greasing the fenderwells a bit) LOL (actually, I had the front end off then)

The headers are made in 4 parts for each side so they come apart for easy removal. I've had them out a few times already.

I should have mentioned that the pic I posted shows this engine at it's dirtiest! Normally, it looks better but it's like a magnet for dust and grime!

those motors always give me a woody thanks bob409, it looks like you had to do some custom header work on that baby to get them to fit, are they custom made? I think those motors would complement our trucks real nice
