Re: 1963 bbc header fit issues

Got a picture? May make it easier to help you out. When I did my 66 I used chevelle headers and they were not a bad fit.

Re: 1963 bbc header fit issues

Here is another thread about a similar issue. The same would apply to a 4x4 as the frames are basically the same. If you are running a manual trans, that will complicate the issue with trying to find a header that will be compatable with the clutch bellcrank. I would consider converting to a hydraulic clutch.
