Cool. We'll take ya, come on down!! It was in the mid 70's and slightly cloudy today, it was horrid.

[Slick67]

I got a call today while I was workin on my truck......"a large heavy box came for you, I think it's your headers." So I've been smiling for the rest of the day. Now I can take em with me tomorrow and start doing all of my many small things that have been on hold cause of these headers. Pictures tomorrow!

I'm on my way. We are getting snow in late feb. only the 5th time in the last 70 years according to the weather guy. Congrats on getting your headers, let's see those bad boy's.

Thanks Heath, I got another job today for a drawing of a 67 Chevelle but it is stock. Might make a little project money!! My mad skills with the pinstriping brush have been limited to stuff layin around the shop, but I'll get better.

[Slick67]

Alrighty then, on to the progress pics. I ordered some Hedman Hedders part #68608, they are the mid-length 1967 Camaro/Chevelle headers. Summit had them for the least coin. $333 shipped.

I test fitted the passenger side first and they fit perfect and luckily the trans lines that I bent a few months ago turned out to be perfect also, guess I got lucky again.



I didn't get so lucky on the driver side. There is a post that is floating around out there that says these fit perfect on both sides with no mods, that is not really true. You can see the header is high toward the back of the block because it is hitting the motor mount bracket. Pay no attention to the dust and bondo sanding mess that is everywhere, we are still sanding the 39.

[Slick67]

Aggravated, I pulled out the trusty grinder and started throwin sparks. I know it looks like messy grinding.....because it was! I had to cover everything in cardboard which made it difficult to get to.

After taking out about half an inch or so, the header dropped into posistion leaving about 1/16th of an inch clearance......good enough for government work!! Promise the next pics will be of a cleaner engine bay!!!

[Jeffs70]

the Headers look great, sorry to hear about the fitting problems.

I was planning on getting this same set of headers. I wonder if it would be smart for me to mod my mount tower and flush it out on the top rather then have that hump sitting out there that much where you had to grind

Sounds like your idea would work well and be a cleaner install. These headers look really good and fit great once you get past the motor mount, I would recommend them if you don't mind a little modification.

looks good...even though it's sooooooo dirty
