I have a Camaro clip in mine too. If you have a lot of time and patience, you can make some fender well pipes no problem.

Re: Help with headers for a 51

I'm not quite following you but it sounds like you are looking for what we call fenderwell headers.

Something like this
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Garage...ers,41624.html
Or http://www.classicchevy.com/chevy-sa...1955-1957.html

You would most lilely make your own though as I don't think the production units would fit your chassis.

This is the sort of setup I'm talking about , long neck pipes that tuck tightly inside the rails , but I don't have the patience or skill to do the job ....

I don't want to run fenderwells as I won't have enough clearance , ideally something that'll fit inside the rails and be close to the block ..

Re: Help with headers for a 51

If you're wantin "tightly tucked inside the rails" why not run headers for the year subframe you're runnin. That's what I've previously done. Good luck.
