**Jokers69** · 12-19-2009, 02:11 AM

The SB ones are $550.00 bare, $865.00 CHROMEX ceramic coating, and $975.00 stainless 304.

**Jokers69** · 12-19-2009, 02:17 AM

The BB one are not in stock they will have a final test fit on monday. I will post installed picture then. They will not be available with 3.5" ball and socket collectors. (no tooling available for that) I will keep you all posted. Thanks

Willys47 · 12-19-2009, 02:40 AM

will the bbc be in stainless 304 as well?

**Jokers69** · 12-19-2009, 03:05 AM

The BB ones will not be available in stainless at this time. It maybe something we work on in the future. We don't have the ability to bend the 2" stainless at this time. Thanks

**Jokers69** · 12-29-2009, 02:36 PM

The BB headers are done. Here is some pics of them installed before and after paint. We have 2 sets in stock and working on a couple more. I have a couple of more pictures on the camera I will post when I download them.

**Jokers69** · 12-29-2009, 03:11 PM

Here are the rest of the pictures.

weircc · 12-29-2009, 09:27 PM

my question is will they work with pre 72 stands cause looks like 72's in picture

**Jokers69** · 12-29-2009, 09:52 PM

They are 72 stands. They should work with no problems. I'm looking for a early year local truck to test fit them on now.They have plenty of room.

Willys47 · 12-29-2009, 10:37 PM

will they be in the CHROMEX ceramic coating as well if they fit the pre 72 and they look like they will you will need to ship some up to Canada. Boy do they look good!

**Jokers69** · 12-29-2009, 10:49 PM

Yes they are available with Chromex coating.

Dan 67 Chevy LWB · 12-31-2009, 09:57 PM

How much for the coated BBC?

Brewski* · 01-01-2010, 12:23 AM

I know this has been asked but I don't have time to read all 7 pages Will they fit a 3/4 ton 4x4 Manual? small block?

WOW they are impressive. Are you going to develop a header for us standard transmission guys?

As a side question is the clutch linkage problem typical of all headers?

**Jokers69** · 01-02-2010, 06:35 PM

No they won't work on manual transmission. The problem is to keep them above the frame it won't fit with the manual factory clutch linkage.

**Jokers69** · 01-04-2010, 11:40 AM

BB Headers coated will be $925.00 with chromex coating.

70stroker · 01-04-2010, 03:14 PM

I am in need of these still. when will you be able to have more in stock? cost, and different coating options?

Awesome job on the headers and thanks for going through the hassle! I'll be looking for results of a test fit on the pre 72 then will order a set.

**Jokers69** · 01-04-2010, 04:03 PM

We have them in stock now. As for coating options they come bare or Chromex coated. $575.00 bare or $925.00 coated.

chevy71c10 · 01-07-2010, 07:55 PM

Just wanted to drop a line and say the coated headers arrived and look better than I expected, also a day early. Can't wait to get them installed, maybe late next week to mock-up for the exhaust routing. Thanks for the great transaction!

**Jokers69** · 01-28-2010, 06:23 PM

The BB header will not fit the 67 frame rails. We tried repositioning the tubes but with 2" primaries spark plug access would be almost impossible without pulling header loose. For those willing to trim the frame rails you can make them work. Sorry for the inconvenience we thought they would fit them all.

70stroker · 01-28-2010, 06:48 PM

shouldnt have a problem with 70 rails with pre 72 stands correct?

**Jokers69** · 01-28-2010, 07:26 PM

I am looking for a 68-71 BB truck to fit them in right now. But it looks like they will fit it just the 67 upper frame rail is to wide.

Dan 67 Chevy LWB · 01-30-2010, 10:25 PM

So just the top of the 67 frame rail is wider? How much will need to be trimmed on the frame for the BB headers? How much wider is the 67 verses the other years?

Any word on the BB Stainless?
