70's camaro headers how to

Hey guys got some headers from a buddy came off of a 75 camaro and new there 125 dollers. better than paying 300 lol. im ganna make a how to thread on how to make these fit really easy, they fit but the flange hits between the trans pan and the chassis. So what u have to do is get some 3 inch pipe and cut the flange off before the pipes come together on the header. and then weld the new pipe on the header but pointing down a bit to clear the opening and make another bend up, with the old flange that u cut off and weld that on and then there u go u have a long tubed header from a 70's camaro that fits on ur third gen. ill get pics of the progress soon as i get the headers on.

Re: 70's camaro headers how to

Interesting... Still, I got my hedmans for $100. Correct headers for these cars arent necessarily expensive at all. But none are a perfect fit either, so maybe you're onto something.

Re: 70's camaro headers how to

Yea, I have to agree on the ground clearance thing. It is why these cars don't have true duals very often...clearancing them. Anyway, I wouldn't go over any speed bumps, lane reflectors, larger insects on the road...

Besides, I am pretty sure that the single 4" exhaust that runs back to the muffler and out the (2) 2" to 2 1/2" pipes from the muffler is more than enough flow for most applications.

Re: 70's camaro headers how to

1" ground clearance. OMG dude just stop it. That is rediculous. They make bolt on headers for these cars for a reason.

Re: 70's camaro headers how to

What can i say without sounding harsh? I don't know really.

That is one ugly *** exhaust system.

Just doesn't seem like it was worth the effort at all for the outcome...

Re: 70's camaro headers how to

if you dont mind me asking where are these s10's located in k-ville? i didnt think you could find them that cheap with swapped v8s in them. that would probably be cheaper than the route i was planning on going which involved buying a truck (i havent been able to find one for under 2500 that was stock) then buying little things for my motor i.e. headers, oil pan, dizzy, etc etc since all i basically have is a long block.
