I was trying to find a used set of these just to try, and was thinking the same about the collector - nice long one just for a test. I found this interesting article while looking for 1.5 tube headers.

Ron,
I looked at the Schoenfeld but the tube/collector dim's are the same as my hookers. They do have a 1.5- 1 5/8 and 3 collector step headers but they only fit 1973 - 1988 Chevy Malibu, Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix, Olds Cutlass, Buick Regal , and Camaro 70 - 81.

Hedman has a step header (68274) for a Nova like the Schoenfeld above, but it seems it is unavailable. I sent them and email to find out what the deal is.

Also looking a cutting the hookers up at the end and putting on an OBX merge collector, they are available on ebay $69 each.

Joe, Schoenfeld lists the 165 for:

Camaro 70 - 81 ¤ Monte Carlo 72 - 77 ¤ Nova 75 - 79
Will not fit Chevelle

Conventional Style Headers for Cars with Engine in Stock Location or engine set back.
Clears side and rear engine mounts.
Will fit straight and angle plug heads. Must use short oil filter.

Mike, Hedman makes the #68310 (1.5" tube convention style header) for the G bodies. Just looking at them, I don't think there would be too much involved in getting them in a Nova subframe. Hedman's #68311 is the same header with a ball flange at the rear rather than a flat collector flange. A set of these and those inexpensive OBX collectors could be a nice cost effective setup.

I've got experience with Schoenfeld headers and ran a set of their 1 5/8-1 3/4 steps with Performance Welding merge collectors last season on my stocker. Schoenfeld seemed good to work with as I ordered my headers with the collectors loose in the box, Maybe they could do a set of 1 1/2" for 'ya. -Al
