I have installed a big block chevy into a 92 firebird and have seen where guys have used a header that was not specific for this swap ! I really don't want to shell out 500 , on a budget you know ! I have heard that there is a header that that I can purchase for a big block that will work but I can't remember for what car , thanks guys !

 

Patriot shorties for a 70 Chevelle

Its in the sticky in the engine swap forum

 

Thanks Pocket !

 

I've got a set I used for a year. I ended up buying the $500 set. If your interested, I'll find a pic and post it.

 

should be the patriot 8012 for 1 3/4 and 8017 for 1 7/8

 

patriot h8013 is what im using on mine.theyre not a bolt in deal. if you need some pics of them send me your email.

 

what did You have to fabricate them and do you know of any long tubes that wil fit?

I know there's other options to fitting headers. Im interested also. New to this

 

That thread on the Patriots shows exactly how to make them fit. They're good quality for right around $200. If I was ranking by price, it would be manifolds then Patriots then Hookers then Lemons. If rating by power potential, then reverse that list, unless you're adding twin turbos, in which case EBay has stainless forward-dump headers for under $200

 

Can you give me a link to "That thread on the Patriots shows exactly how to make them fit." I don't know what or where that is. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
