danj Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 In the process of installing a 383 Chevy Stroker in my 83 280ZX 2+2. Having a problem finding a header that will clear the stock power steering column assembly. Comments from anyone with any experience or knowledge here would be most welcome.

danc Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Danh: I have an 83 SBC with Power R&P and used Heddman Tight Tubes. Passenger side fits great. Ended up taking the drivers side hedder apart at the flange for the 2 rear tubes and ran the steering shaft between them. Matched them up with the front tubes to the collector at frame rail height. Heddman did a ceramic recoat on it for $50. Went with 2 1/2 pipes back to a "Y" with 3" out to a flowmaster Delta Flow in the original postion. Looks stock from the sides and back! Good luck..

danj Posted March 25, 2002 Author Share Posted March 25, 2002 Dan Looks like you've solved the problem we're going through. Do the 2 1/2" pipes cause any vibration when cruising on the street or is that not an issue for your application? DanH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
