BBC exhaust port adapters on a SBC block?


Recommended Posts

I may have to convert my SBC from full-length headers to block huggers as I convert my car from a Scarab engine mount to a JTR mount (lower and closer to the firewall). My readings of the JTR manual indicate block huggers are all that's readily available - I was thinking of adding some BBC adapters to the exhaust ports and running BBC block huggers.

 

Smart, or not worth the trouble?

There are two different style adapters for SBC. One is the Stahl, and I don't rememeber the other... You can use these to run large tube headers (above 1 7/8") on a SBC if you need extra large headers.

 

Not only is the BBC significantly longer, it is IE IE IE IE patterned instead of EI IE EI IE patterend. Won't work in other words.

 

A better solution would be to get a header kit and build your own from scratch.
