Having a set built...Going to be a set of step headers 2-1/8 to 2-1/4 to a 4" collector I think.....Need to see how you guys did them, and how short can they be?

Tall deck or Low? For which heads did you have them on? Tall deck, indy -1 heads with a tube frame, Like I said I don't think they will work as-is with stock rails. Flange ports were big enough for B1's

Friend of mine makes headers....Took it to him. These are 2-1/8 to 2-1/4 step headers.....
And yes, the plan is to lower the car, put a chin piece on it, and I have a new short block going together. Should be around 520 cubes in a 440 block. The plan is a few more cubes, a little bigger headers, a little bigger carb, and a little bigger cam..And then this engine can be a spare unless someone has to have it..Not even 100 runs on it I think between since new last year.

Sometimes a different approach works well. These over the bar headers were within 1 hp of 2 1/4 dyno headers! The biggest thing was the straighter flow allowed further from the heads. They are 2 1/8 tubes and made 925 hp versus 926 hp with dyno headers on my 550 cube 440-1 motor.

Well, I don't need pics of anyone else's....I got my own now. Not to mention, I won't be pro-streeting this car with this change.....Only one side is done so far. but looks really nice. Those look great! Where did you purchase the pieces?
