Try headers for a Chevelle or 2nd GEN Camaro. I've used both on 67-87's w/only minor trimming on the frame rail req'd.

Hey I got Hookers from amazon for 157.00 shipped last year. I would go w/those if on the cheap but much better IMO would be the Headmans ceramic from Summit. Will see how the Hookers do and I will replace them w/ the HM's if they fail or don't work out. The Headmans seem like a good middle price headers and have heard good reviews and recommendations from friends.

I had to go with the hookers I went with due to exhaust port size and shape...I have rectangle port heads so I didnt want to go with the standard oval or round port header... Hooker was one of the only ones I could get besides some derby headers.

Well I ended up getting Full Length 1.75" primary Hooker Headers. They were only headers that I liked their fit.
