My 406 with Ebay long tubes and ground clearance.
I have a 406 with ported vortec heads and a XR270 full roller cam. We felt we needed more than shorties with 1 5/8 primarys for this engine. So after talking with a Dutch guy on here I ordered a set of these stainless OBX Chinese headers off Ebay with 1 3/4 primarys. They go by a bunch of different names like OBX these were "DNA"s for $267. With a little bit of notching on the K member and new stock motor mounts they give great ground clearance

Re: My 406 with long tubes and ground clearance.
Here's a Youtube vid. Many thanks to Vic at Schmitt tuning north of Toronto for his hard work and vision. The Fitech has had no time to self tune. That is def water coming out of the pipes.

Re: My 406 with long tubes and ground clearance.
This is good to know as I've been thinking about these same headers
DSCOTT that looks good enough rear clearance as long as you stop picking up all those fat chicks
really though thanks for the pics ground clearance was/is a big peeve of mine

Re: My 406 with long tubes and ground clearance.
although this is not all there is to it, the ground clearance is pretty impressive, especially for a 1.75" long tube.... any rattles or thumping?
