What headers for clipped 57

[candrive55]

Hi guys just picked up a 57 short box step side it has a 1982 camaro clip and a m21 four hear. Looking for as much ground clearance as possible . Because as you know it must be low. What headers you all using

You should be able to use headers that are for the same year camaro.

a good set of block huggers could help ya then you can run the rest of the exhaust tight up against the chassis and exit where you want

I'm confused like pop's c-10 seems to be. 1982 was the first year for the third gen camaro.....not able to pull the cilp off the car.....has to be a second gen clip....

Yes, if the steering box is in front it's 71-80 Camaro or firebird 75-79 Nova
If the box is in back it could be a 67-70 Camaro or a 68-74 Nova

There are some other ones but they are buick or olds and pontiac
If I'm wrong somebody correct me PLEASE

[Daze57]

also just so ya know if the box was in the back it was also known as ''rear steer''

Hopefully it's a 72 Camaro clip and I'd say out of that 60 unit selection a lot of them are Plain, black coated or silver coated giving one style three part numbers.

On my 48 when I had the rear steer Camaro clip under it I just used a pair of Rear Steer headers that I picked up at the local speed shop (we actually had one then) nothing fancy, just street headers that cost around 100 bucks at the time. They fit great with no extra dinging or modification. Also they tucked up in the frame pretty well for ground clearance.

wow thanks for all the help guys.

Looks like the box is on the front..so now what? with 4 speed dont forget
