The bbc or sbc header will not work with stock transmssion crossmember. They both need aftermarket crossmembers.

Headers are really nice! Fit great. Truck was a fun project now for-sale. Watch the video.

will these fit 73-87?

laplander · 09-16-2011, 10:58 PM

Steve, I just got the headers delivered tonight and wanted to say thanks for finding a solution to the header problems associated with lowered trucks. They look fantastic and I can't wait to get them installed.

Steve, hello! I purchased the sbc stainless headers from you and received them about three weeks ago. Well I did have the wider top frame rails like you have seen on the '67's so I pulled the engine and trans and trimmed the frame rails. I installed the headers and installed the engine and trans with new headers back into the frame. It looks awesome. Thanks for all your help. Now I need to purchase a different starter and I can get the exhaust system made.

**passthebuck** · 09-21-2011, 02:00 PM

tac106842, why are you getting a different starter? Do these not fit the factory starter?

tac106842 · 09-21-2011, 02:33 PM

I have a mild built sbc406 running 10.3:1 compression and a good friend of mine told me to never run a sbc 400 up on a stock starter. He has built several of these and the stock starter usually ends up trashed in about 4 months. So I was planning on running a geared starter. I spoke with Steve (Joker69) and he said that he is running a Powermaster geared starter with these headers and he has a starter that you can rotated the electric motor to fit your application. Summit and Jegs has these starters in the standard bolt or staggered bolt pattern for around $245.00 and they put out 200ftlb of cranking torque. To answer your question I am not sure if the stock starter will fit or not, I know from installing these headers it is pretty tight where the starter goes and I am sure that there will be plenty of heat coming off these headers. You may want to ask Joker69 this question.

HUH???? Gm run stock starters without issues, my 406 runs a stock starter for going on 15 years now. For the first 3 years of running this 406 I had a gear reduction starter and had nothing but problems, put on a cast iron nose starter and all the issues went away. A 400 SBC will run just fine on a stock GM starter.

**passthebuck** · 10-20-2011, 01:40 AM

Just recieved my stainless SB headers & they look great! Going overseas for a bit so I'll have to install them when I get back. Photos then...

shawno72 · 10-20-2011, 03:18 PM

Now all I need is a set for my 292

Brandoneh · 02-01-2012, 01:51 PM

Steve, I have placed a call into Dan's shop 3 times now and haven't heard back. Are they still in business? I'm looking for a set of BBC headers.

Thanks.

**Jokers69** · 02-01-2012, 04:02 PM

Never did see where you posted the current price on the BBC Stainless Headers.

gofast68c20 · 02-01-2012, 10:34 PM

Is the price still the same for the big block headers?

**Jokers69** · 02-02-2012, 12:30 PM

I will check current pricing and availabilty in stainless. Let you guys know asap.

Brandoneh · 02-03-2012, 03:24 PM

Well it looks like there are 3 of us. If we can all pool together and get a couple more guys in for the BBC headers, perhaps we can score a group buy. I talked to Dan yesterday Joker, thank you.

volleyballer13 · 02-05-2012, 09:47 AM

Depending on the price of the BBC headers, you can add me to your group buy. I would love a set for my 78 blazer.

mmmBoost · 02-09-2012, 02:17 AM

I'll be up for a sbc bare set when I get my taxes back, if enough of us group buy.

Brandoneh · 02-09-2012, 01:24 PM

Well I think that's 3. Can we got some more so we can propose a group buy?
