I would like to know that too... Unfortunately I dont think so. Was discussed on the dry dock, I think only have a chance with shorties.

TTi makes headers for 65-73 C's.
Not cheap,but the best fit money can buy.
Cannot remember but I think Hedmann or Hooker makes C body headers,too.
B body will not fit.
Steering column interference.

I think the ones they make are BB only.I doubt the Bs will fit even with a SB.Rocky

Go to
c-body dry dock
those guys are experts on the big c's and this subject is on the forum almost daily.
There are a few options, but most stick with the manifolds.
Not sure if TTI even has an application for headers.

Your biggest issue is that the ONLY 65 C bodies that could get a small block from the factory were the ones sold in Canada or possibly other exports. Canadian ones are all I really have any familiarity with and I do know they could have the smaller engines but in the US none were ever made with either an LA or /6, all were either B or RB. So that makes the market a pretty small one.

A small block in a C body...
Blasphemy!
I'm not sure if these
Junior Mopar engines have shorty headers available for them but I know the bigblock motors do.

Lots of Furys. Polaras etc had SBs in 65.They were all C bodys.Oh and some even had /6s.Rocky

Rocky is right. I think the earlier poster forgot about the Poly A, which has a nearly identical block to an LA, and hence same motormounts as a 318LA.
The 65 C also has a goofy driverside motormount, and that might be the rason why Schumacher has no listing for it, smallblock 65s won't lead to a lot of sales.

the more i look for motor mounts the more i figure i'll just have to fab something up. i think the dakota shorty headers will work though.

Guess I'm gonna have to keep my eyes open more. I have never seen a US produced 65 C body with an original small block of any sort. Thanks for the learnin', maybe one of these days I'll actually see one of those rare beasties.
