Here is a pic of the headers used. What are they?? Are they just B/E body headers just hammered into place??

Discuss...

On the second article picture 3 says they used CPPA under Cassie headers. Which when I first looked at the header picture, I thought they looked at like a TTI header

Had the same headers on my car at the time...CPPA 2" underchassis headers.

Whoops silly me. I didn't see that part on my phone screen. Thanks for proof reading for me!

The car that got my interest in A bodies....

Is that the one where they used a hose clamp to secure the transmission tailshaft to the crossmember?

Who's Cassie?

I wish I'd known when I built my first 383 A-body that Hedman B-body headers would fit with very little dinging. I ended up with an expensive, oversized, crappy fitting set of Hooker fenderwells. Of course this was way back in '83 when there was no Internet... it's so much easier now with these forums!
