[Chevelle SS 396 L78]

I thought some of you might enjoy seeing my original set of M/T Super Scavenger headers for my 1967 L78 Chevelle SS back in '67 or '68. I installed them myself with the help of a friend. As I recall they didn't rub at all anywhere and the sound was simply spectacular! I believe I had to loosen a motor mount is all to get some clearance during the install.

Not too loud either with stock mufflers, but with a solid lifters HP Big Block there was nothing sweeter sound-wise!

what did they cost you back in 67? If they were still in the box Nos they would be 3,000-4,500 today.

Well, I was in high school, and I had to borrow money from my Dad to buy the car (and paid back every penny working at the local IGA and my uncle's Standard Oil Station), so they were likely not too much.....I'd guess $200 or so? Remember, my new '67 Chevelle SS cost $3,443 (delivered to the dealer), undercoating was a whopping $35, and my car's L78 engine option cost was a whopping $237 included in the above cost! LOL! So, the M/T's were cheap by today's standards.
