I have CE weld in sfc's on my car now but the Hooker 2226 BBC swap headers dump right where they are. Is there another sfc that would work better with them.

How set are you on the headers? Have you seen this thread? https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...11#post2594711

If the 396 ever ends up in the Camaro, that's the route I'd take.

I already have the headers in the car. I had to trim about 6 inches of the front of each sfc to get them bolted up. Maybe this winter I will try to make some that leave room behind the collector to run some mufflers for a little street use.

From the BBC Swap threads, it appears some trimming/modification is required regardless. I'm not sure how the Spohn SFCs would line up with those collectors, but from what little I know of the headers, and knowing what the Spohn's look like, I wouldn't think they'd get in each other's way.

Modification/fabrication is probably your best bet, anyway.
