Big Block Question

[COPO]

For info, the Motion cars used a regular set of headers and then either an "S" pipe was used or a hole made into the side of the collectors and a custom pipe to connect to the side exhaust. The headers were then capped with a removable plate for easy uncorking at the track or a late night street race.

That sound very much the same as I was using on my Deuce -- they were Hooker side pipes with 4 tubes up front under the rocker panel ... only one was connected for exhaust hookup. I had em' on the car for less than a month -- the connection pipe was only 2&quot; or 2 1/4&quot; in diameter and choked the engine big time. The looked nice, but the perf was not there. The TAZ

A member here had a real nice 68 BB chevelle. If I remember correctly he had a sharp &quot;S&quot; pipe to hook his side pipes up to his header. Like everyone else here said, the header goes to far to the rear and has to double back per say to match-up to the side pipes.

The corvette headers i'm talking about look like a shorty header.They don't look a hole lot bigger than the manifolds thats why I'm thinking it will work.I'm just afraid of spending the almost $800 bucks if they dont work and going through the trouble of sending them back.I know I could use the regular headers but like you said i would need the S-bends and i'm trying to eliminate that.Thank you and keep the ideas coming.Kevin
