Pics of MY custom A-body Headers - 10/19/20 12:40 AM
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?

Which front suspension are you running?? Can't help you if your car has a K-rframe, factory steering, and torsion bars. Good luck if that's the case.

These are 2 1/8"x2 1/4"x4" They are for sale but I don't know if they would fit with stock rails.

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

Nice fab skills
one thing i like about running though the fender is it allow you to lower the car some
Also saves weight..........may be that 5.90's is in order

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?
