BB A-Body headers - 10/31/17 03:24 AM

Has anyone run the cyl. 1 & 2 header pipe a diff. way then the normal over the center 2 cyl. by the valve cover ?
Looking for some pics. on diff. layouts .
I was thinking about dropping the front pipes strait down under then under the k frame but don't know if it would work.
Any pics of A-Bodys with B-1 header layout would be nice also .
Thanks Brad

I see a lot of big block Ford cars with headers designed like that and they have very little ground clearance.
There was a 428 Mustang at the track a few week ago and it had the front tubes down below the K member 2 1/8 tubes and it was almost dragging the ground.

Here you go. 2 options my Barracuda has a front rack tubular K with t-bars.
Both sets of headers are custom made by Bob Menendez a member here.

Thanks .
I have B1s on a RB and the pro parts work but need bigger tubes and aren't a great sealing flange on my car.
