what bbc headers are you using? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I purchased the performanceonline.com frame mounts for my '67 and was wondering what headers you guys were using for your big blocks? I also am curious as to runner size I beleive i'll be in the 540 flywheel hp range.

any big block guys out there?

**70cst** · 03-01-2008, 09:53 AM

I have Thorley Tri Y's but am concerned about clearance issues with a 2"/4" drop plus once I get the engine re-installed I don't want the headers/exhaust hanging below the frame. I am about to pull the trigger on Sanderson's Block-Huggers. BB4 I believe is the part number. Just am not sure if I will buy direct or through a Vendor.

BBC header fitament info????????

**Tom Vogel** · 03-06-2008, 08:59 PM

I have headers by Lemons Headers in Paso Robles Ca. I had them made so the collectors are level with the bottom of the frame... for ground clearance. 2 1/8" primaries on a blown 454.
Do a Google and youll find their website. I dont know how to post a link.

Chevelle Hooker comps. I had to modify the trans xmember because the Chevelle headers sit up higher in the frame.
