Re: Newtz '67 swb
Just sitting there. I was laid off for two weeks, so I didn't wanna fork out the money for headers till I went back to work. Need to trim my frame and install motor mounts. Then get the headers and a few small parts.

Re: Newtz '67 swb
Finally I have an update! I got home from work today and there was a set of headers on my front porch, score! I was so pumped I went out and notched the 67 frame to allow for the new big block. Here's a few pics for your enjoyment, and mine haha.

Re: Newtz '67 swb
Some pics of the headers. I have never spent the money for headers like these before, and I am very impressed with the quality! Thank you to badbowtie468 for the info on headers! Thank you to everyone else that helped me decide on headers also!

Re: Newtz '67 swb
Well it's been a while since I posted so.... We dropped the motor in and had some major issues. We set the motor mounts on the front holes, which is where the small block was. When we went to put the headers in they would not clear the a-arms. Also one of the tubes hit the drivers side motor mount. So looking at moving the motor back to the back holes, we discovered that the tall valve covers would hit the firewall. Today we plan to pull the motor, and look into modifying the firewall. We will also notch the motor mount a little to allow for the header clearence. All of this means I get to move my tranny mount back and shorten my driveline. Good stuff! I've seen that a couple guys have drilled new holes for the mounts and just went back a little, instead of all the way to the back holes. This may be an option for me, not sure yet. No pics yet, but I'll be sure to get some, in case someone else runs into this problem. Just FYI, I'm still very happy with the headers, I should have done more research and verified which holes the motor needed to be mounted in. They do tuck up in the frame very nice though. So nice, that I'm pretty sure my a-arms would hit the ground before the headers.

Re: Newtz '67 swb
Looks like fun! How did you resolve the clearance issues you had with the headers?
