Default Headers for early B-Body (Impala, Biscayne, Belair) with Rack and pinion

I have a 63 Biscayne with a Schwartz Performance frame and I'm looking for a set of headers that will work with it. Schwartz has ones that are guaranteed to work but, they are $1,200.

Anyone have any recommendations on headers that might work?

Don't know anything about a '63, but Dynatech '67-'69 Camaro LS swap headers fit my '65. The tube in the way of the steering is arched way up and back so there's no issue there at all. Might fit your appication, might not.

What did the chassis cost? My personal suggestion is buy the Schwartz headers or make your own. Unless someone owns one of those chassis, there is no way to know what they moved or didn't.

superdave84, nice suggestion but your 65 is the first year of an all new chassis design for these cars. 1958 - 64 are front steer with an "x" frame, 65 started rear steer and standard perimeter frame.

I'm using headers from a ls sonoma. They are shorty's but I don't have the fastest car on the planet and never will so it didn't really matter to me.
