do you have the wheel wells and stock suspention

where did you get the pipes and collecters to make your headers


VERY NICE !!!!!!

..ya definitly a alternate route would be to get a set of headers that would be kinda close{at least flange and colector}..then cut the mid section out and tweak them up...that's what i did for my car since it's a body dropped chassis car i got your basic a-body bb fenderwell headers used for 300${that didn't even come close to being able to be bolted down} then basically for about 350$ in labour tweaked them up..and away i went...

i have stock suspension but a rack and pinion steering and coil-overs. yes the hotrod does have the inner fenders still in it. i purchased all the parts from "headers by ed" and he built and welded the flanges to match a tracing of the exhaust ports. he also hand formed the collectors.

I don't know why it would cost more to have headers fitted,the flanges have to be bolted to the heads pipes tack welded up taken off,welded up,colectors fitted welded up and final install to make sure they fit after they are welded up.

You guys on the east coast must have to pay top dollar for all your work.Jim Caughlin has been doing work around here for years.National record holder in his class,doe's alot of Vanderbecks header work,builds alot of superstock and stock class headers.

$800 for the headers does't include specialty collectors that can cost up to $800 per pair by themselves.But for a regular header like a Hooker Super Comp,the headers would be about $800.

had 1300 bucks into a set of custom headers back in the early 90's for my 440 64 valiant....
