A Body Shorty Stainless Headers
Your in a tough situation. Finding a header for a big block in an A body is hard. Its a very tight fit for those cars. Ive done many of them, and its hard work. I always run the rear tube on each side out the fenderwell, I do the same on race SB A body headers. It makes more room for the other 3 tubes, and in the end you get a nicer header. Ground clearance is not a problem, I always tuck the headers up real high. The problem is, we are pricey on our headers. A real nice set of headers takes a few days to build, plus materials, and your well over $1500. We really only build very high end race headers, we normally never do street stuff. We concentrate on using a wide radius bend, equal length, and merge collectors. I sadly cant help you, I can build you a header, and it will fit perfect, tuck up tightly, make tons of power, but the problem is that there pricey. I can build these SB headers for these guys for a good price, but ive got to have at least 25 customers, or I wont tool up for them. I can do the same with the BB headers, but ive got to sell at least 25 of them. When I tool up I can build them fast, and easily as I have tubes pre bent and all I have to do is weld them together. Productoin is just that, production. One off headers take loads of time, and ive got to charge for it. A custom set of headers for an A body in mild steel are $1600 for a SB and $1700 for a BB. This includes merge collectors, CNC flanges, wide radius bend, and a multi step design. I truly wish I could help the A body community more, but with my workload, its just not possible. I love A bodys, thats all ive ever had I have 4 of them right now, and race them as well. If you guys can all group together and decide on a paritcular header you want built in a large quantity, I can build it, for a fair price.
