JBSRace1 Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Who makes a good set of headers to fit in my 70 240 355 cid? Or would I be better off to just build my own? I have built sevearal sets in the past for my other cars but it takes alot of time and a pain in the A$$. I would like to find a set that would bolt on with out having to do alot of fabrication. Pref 1-3/4" pri with a 3-1/2" collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jap tin Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Straight plug heads or angle plug heads ? What do you have on the car now? Why a 3 1/2" collector on a 1 3/4" primary ? Drag only ? How hot a motor and what rpm range do you run it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBSRace1 Posted April 30, 2002 Author Share Posted April 30, 2002 1: Angle plug 2: I Dont know what the ones that are in there now are for or who made them. But they have been hammerd almost closed in several places. 3: I am fixing to change engine combo to match my camaro. After years of working with it I found the most power and consistancy with headers of that size. 4: Yes Drag Only. 5: The Mtr that is in there now. Leaving at 3400 and shifting at 7000 runs 6.30's in the 1/8 @ 108. With the new engine combo it should run 5.80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohnzii Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 S&S makes a long tube block hugger header that fit my Z well. You'll have to put a dent in one primary tube to clear the steering rod but that's all I had to do. I used the JTR conversion kit. I think you can find them on the web using ss headers--They're in Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DRK Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Here is the link guy. They come close to the ground if your car is lowered severely. http://www.ssheaders.com/StreetRod.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
