BBC Headers

CPOlesen · 05-08-2008, 12:20 PM

67 camaro rs. Installing a 454 blk with dart pro-1 heads. I have energy suspension poly motor mounts # 1114 also hooker super comp 2" header # 2205. Put motor in with sbc frame stands headears hit pwr steering box. I was told a manual steer box was narrower,I bought a s-10 box reistall. same problem headers hit box. Talked to hooker tech says headers are correct with big block stands. bought new BB stands reinstall. A little better but still hits and the after market stands don't line up correctly. I would have to wallow out the hole on the passenger side and still dent headers and buy a new trans cross member to make work. I have put the SBC stands back in cause if I have to dent the headers I might as well use the stands I don't have to wallow out. I have to buy new rag joint to mate the s-10 cause the spline is diff. I'm at a stand still there must be 1000's of 454 swapped camaro's out there. What is the combination that will work for the headers I have if any or should I try tri-Y or something else. I'm LOST...
