Header Specs:

This header is designed for any tube size up to 2 ½” with up to a 5” collector or our collector mufflers up to a 6” size. It has all tubes inside the frame with excellent ground clearance and spark plug access. We designed the header using a Milodon #30950 or #30955 low profile oil pan and the bottom of the header was ½” higher than the bottom of the pan. Measuring from the side of a stock oil pan we have well over 4” of room on each side for a sump kick out or dry sump oil lines. This also gives easy access to the oil filter and starter. If you are going to use our collector mufflers you will need our tubular transmission cross member for additional room. The header is designed for solid side motor mounts setting on small block frame stands or motor plates with the engine centered and at the same height. Ask our sales person for more information. There is room for the engine to move back with this header. This header will fit a power brake booster and clutch linkage. It requires any mini starter but will not fit a factory style GM full size starter. If you are using a Lakewood style scatter shield you may have to trim it slightly under the starter area. This header will NOT fit factory air conditioning or column shifter linkage.

Header Installation:

We normally build this header with individual tubes for easy installation. Leave the engine and starter in place. Start from front to back installing one tube at a time on both sides. Only snug the header bolts until the collectors are installed then go back and tighten all header bolts.
