dsommer Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Pictures please, what position/kit are you using for your install. Full length headers, brand etc. Tube size? Steering shaft clearance. Your post is VERY vuage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazycat5 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I just sold my 62-67 hooker supercomp headers. Maybe I should have cept them. With the jtr position, the only snag I saw without cutting into the battery aria and washer container aria, was the brake mastercylinder and booster in the way. I did not want to go throu relocation of these items. If I had used them, they would have exited behind the front wheels, making for the best headers to use for side pipes,going over the frame instead of under it. They also have more clearance for plug wires,are 1 3/4" longtubes with 3" collectors, and may have even provited more ground clearance than the other long tube heders used on the s30.

BOBBY BATES Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 The part number is 520-2243 in the Jegs book. They are in the frame headers and not fender well headers. Try are 1 3/4 and full lenght.My set up is not the jtr or scrab, its 50/50....With the jtr set up i think you would have more room...Best $550 i've spent.......

lazycat5 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'm sorry, the headers I was speking of are fender well headers. Still, should have kept them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsommer Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Well here's the pic from the Jegs website. I'd like to see them installed in a Z car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyvette Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 yeah ! that info and a few detailed pictures of those nova/chevy II headers,installed in a datsun (Z) from both sides of the engine compartment looking down and from under the car looking up with the car on a lift would help most of the guys a great deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I actually just checked and the application (62-67 chevy II) for these is the same as the S&S header 5205 that has been talked about in at least a few threads. I believe a couple people are either running the 5205 headers currently or have in the past. Those threads may provide some insight depending on how similar the two brands headers are. Pictures would be very helpful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miloZ Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 lazycat5, this is the combo you speak of. It is a nice fit but along with the battery tray removal and brake & clutch master relocations, you have to bend the rear of the wheel wells in a little. as can be seen in this image. I just installed these hooker comp fender headers and am now struggling through the brake and clutch master relocation if anyone has done this b4, I'll take any advice.

lazycat5 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 miloZ, that header looks like it was made for the car. I'm positive that you'll be able to work something out with those masters. I think Wilwood makes some clutch & brake pedals that mount the masters under the dash. Converting to manual brakes will eliminate the booster and can help things look cleaner under the hood. Now I'm jealous, definetly should have kept my old set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytherwr Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I don't have pics because I have since taken them off, but I had a set of the S&S 5205's on my sbc '71 240Z in the JTR position. Learned the hard way that the easiest way to install is to put a correct sized 2X6 on your floor jack, jack up the engine a little and take both motor mounts totally off. both sides drop out and in very easily and you can get at the motor mounts to put them back on. The collectors will be pointed toward the front floor pan, however, an offset down-turn pipe clears it easily. In fact, I still have the used set...I tried them on my 454 small block and they didn't do as well as my 1 7/8 shorties, so I took them off. They are coated with some installation marks on them, but very serviceable. PM me if you are interested in buying. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
