Dunlop Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 JTR has what you are looking for... aka www.jagsthatrun.com All headers on that site say it wont fit. From their site ..''''''Will work with stock heads, but may not fit all aftermarket heads (e.g., Dart). '''''' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z2go Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Then you're SCREWED!!! You need to compare your exhaust ports and bolt pattern to a stock head, because it might be the same. Otherwise, you might have luck searching for other people's solutions to that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhm Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Try going to the Sanderson website directly. They have a HUGE selection of headers for all makes/models. I did a quick search on Dart heads, and it appears that they have a couple headers that will fit your motor. "http://www.sandersonheaders.com/search.php?mode=search&page=1". Hope this helps. r/John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunlop Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Ok... i also found a cheap alternative. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330479692019 I am going get them ceramic coated and also put exhaust wrap on them. I will let you guys know how it works out. Will update with pics. Thank you so much again guys!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z2go Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Be wary of cheap alternatives... you might want to do a search on them, I know some other guys have bought eBay headers and the quality was equal to what they paid, if not worse. I think this applies: Cheap, fast, and reliable. Pick two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geking Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I have the cheap ebay headers on my car. The paint burned off in the first 20 min, but other than that the headers have been great for being only $80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I got the KMJ ceramic block huggers a year ago, and have been really happy with them. Decent quality ceramic coating, thick flanges, and good fit on the motor. Would buy again in a heartbeat. KMJ also offered the best price I could find (at the time). Good luck.

dsommer Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I have Trick Flow heads with the angle plugs. I went with a set of hooker street rod shorty headers with Accel shorty plugs. Every thing is "tight" and occasionally I have burnt a plug wire but you can run the fabric insulators if needed. Plug changes are a bit tight, get a short 5/8" wrench to help facilitate the changes and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunlop Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Well here it is... and a sneek peek. It fits perfect!!!!! Plenty of room for the plugs! I will update more. Edited November 19, 2010 by Dunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
converted Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 They will fit... but the plugs wont because they are in the way. Edit no one has angled spark plugs in their Z?? I do i have a set of AFR 210 in my 77 280Z & the headers that i found to work with my setup are from S&S they are long tube 1&3/4" but i have a front plate in my car as well.

Tanker Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Has anybody tried the summit block hugger headers? Or any other low priced headers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanker Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 To answer my own question from a while ago. I got the Summit block hugger headers part # SUM-G9060 and they work great. No clearance or fit issues what so ever. And if you are on a tight budget like me they are only $129. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsicard Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Dunlop: Some of the posts may be OVERBLOWN. Purchased KMJ block hugger headers and they fit just fine. I have AFR-195 heads and the exhaust ports are 1.5 inches rectangular. Much larger exhaust port than the opening in the KMJ headers. Sanderson recently cam out with CC-178 headers which are 1 7/8 inch in OUTSIDE diameter. Purchased these and they interfere with the steering shaft. Purchased shafts and U-joints to go around the headers. Got it all mocked up, then said if this is what it is going to take, might as well go to Subaru PS rack. In the early stages of doing that. Don't know the exhaust port configuration of your Dart heads. KMJ block hugger headers can be slightly ported to help the interface to the Dart heads.
