Chevelle Header Install
With all the questions and postings about headers lately, I figured that I would take some pictures of the install last weekend and post them for you guys.
I bought these headers off of EBAY from Skip White Performance - Mid Length Chevelle Headers - Ceramic Coated - nice quality - price was under 200 First off let me say that I am using tublar motor mounts. I have no idea if these headers will fit stock mounted motors The headers fit nice with some light trimming of the upper frame edge About 1/4" on the drivers side and a bit more than 3/8 on the passenger side. Both of these are for a length of maybe 3 to 4 inches. The headers are mid length and hang perfect in the frame rails. Any good muffler shop should be able to create a bend in even 3" that will stay in the frame Sorry but I had to remove the clutch lever from the old saginaw so I don't think these will work with standards I am pleased with the quality and would say that these are great addition on price alone. If they last 3 years I think that it will pay for its self. I would have much rather had a set of long tubes but finding a set that hangs high in the frame is near impossible. I have some more pics if needed and can answer any questions Thanks to the Board |

Re: Chevelle Header Install
I had Hedman aluminum coated headers when running a small-block in my 72. I can't remember exactly the year application, but it was 64-69 (I think) full-length Chevelle. With the engine on 6-cyl stands in the 6-cyl position everything cleared great except the clutch linkage, but I fabbed up some and made it work. I didn't like the angle or position of the collector as it wasn't as level/parallel as I would like and was a little low. When I switched to BB on 72 mounts in the stock BB location, I tried the headers I had from a 77Grand Prix with a BB Chevy that were also full-length Hedman aluminized for 64-69 (I think) Chevelle.They fit great(one tight spot-no contact- by the rear bushing of the lower control arm on the DS) with TH400, but I never tried w/manual.They were't AS low as the SB ones, but I would still want a tighter, above-the-frame-bottom fit. I know they were both for a late 60's Chevelle applications. Those that you got first should (might) have worked with the engine set back in the 6-cyl position with 6-cyl stands. It's just a little tighter clearance at the firewall, but not a problem. I know it would be more helpful if I kept records so I could give a part#, or was more certain of the particulars like exact years, but I just play like a kid and don't much look back.

Re: Chevelle Header Install
I got the same ones. Hopefully installing them in the next few weeks. I have bought several things from Skip White and they all seem great.
