Block hugger delima

Well , I thought I had my bases covered, I called JTR and talked to Greg to order my headers, Told him I have a 78 Z , A 95 LT1 with D-Ports and angled plugs, also mentioned Sanderson CC5 as noted in other posts here, he agreed and I was good to go. He called back later and said he had none in stock but talked to Sanderson and they would coat a pair and ship them to me from there, that was fine with me no problem, Again good to go.... UPS droped them off today , I was excited , pulled em out of the box and they sure look pretty, so i grab some bolts and mount it up.

Man the End plugs sure are close , I take a closer look and the ports are not D shaped and CC158 is vibropeened on the headers. So I went to the Sanderson site and the only referance to CC5 is in the coming soon in 2002.

 

So I guess my question is do I have the correct Headers?

IF so , Are short Plugs needed?

Thought I'd ask here first , before I call JTR.

I don't know about the D ports however looking at the shot you provided shorty plugs would be in order!

 

I too ordered the Sanderson headers at first, I returned them because there was no way in the world they were going to fit, nice quality but improper fit really disappointed me.

 

Can you not run the Hooker shorty headers? I did with my trick flow heads allbeit it's tight with the angled plug heads but with 90* plug boots and the short accel plugs it works, you just have to be "careful" when routing the wires.

 

Sorry I cannot answer the d port question.

 

Just a few posts down this guy is running an LT1 with hooker block huggers
