Headers for 1952 Chevy PU - Need Advice
I have a 1952 Chevy PU with original A frame. I put a Heidts MII cross member in. I needing a pair of headers, any recommendations? I believe, I need Block Hugger Headers if I'm correct.

Re: Headers for 1952 Chevy PU - Need Advice
Assuming for a small block Chevy, block huggers, rams horn style manifolds, and copies of the rams horn style should work. I am sure there are others that would work too.

Re: Headers for 1952 Chevy PU - Need Advice
We used block huggers on a 52 with a big block. I did have to do some creative notching on the frame but it wasn't much. I think there are some pictures on my build thread.

Jim, looks like you moved your column to the left just a bit?

Re: Headers for 1952 Chevy PU - Need Advice
Thanks for your responses, I really like the look of the block hugger headers so I'm leaning towards those.
Jim, are you running a small block? I'm thinking Bernie had to notch the frame because his BB and you're running a small block?? I've looked at the build links of everyone who responded..Nice work! If I can do 1/2 as good as you guys I'll be pleased. |
