i believe any sbc headers will bolt up, but the problem lands on how the tubes are routed. so seeing as how yours is a small block you can just bolt on any headers that are made to fit in a camaro engine compartment.

Re: 400 SBC Headers

yes, the bolt holes and the ports will all line up, the only difference in the headers is the way the tubes are routed to meet up with the Y pipe and to fit in the engine compartment

Re: 400 SBC Headers

Headers for any SBC will bolt up - 305, 350, whatever - they all use the same headers. You just need to get a set to match your chassis (Camaro, etc). 400s do like the bigger 1-3/4" tube headers, but 1-5/8" will work fine as well. Hooker 2210 would be the best choice of the generic brands, Hooker 2055 or Hedman 68470 would be my next choice.
