New picture are posted now for as the header wire clearance question,I'm going to get some new wires.I used the stock crossmember,I had to modify it a little far as the holes on the trans mount,they were a little different from were the mount was .The mount was closer toward the engine than the rear end so I drilled the crossmember and bolted it up,problem solved.

For all you guys with the TCI/Heidt's/Alstons/DSE etc... Bolt on front ends, S&S Headers out of Arizona sells a set of LS long tube headers specifically for a 62-67 Nova with any of the above bolt on front ends. I have a 64 Nova, the pile of crap you see over there on the left, I have the Heidt's front end with the S&S Headers, they couldn't have fit any better!!! Hang no lower than the cross member, and have 3-bolt flanges, and O2 bungs. Not to mention they are one hell of a set of headers, mandrel bends, and very nice welds. They are more expensive than the Schoenfelds you guys are talking about, I think I paid 500+ for mine, but they are worth it!!! Just adding my two cents on the matter. I scratched my head wondering about headers for an LS motor in that God forsaken Nova for 2 years. Thank God I found the S&S Headers, never heard of them before then. Good luck to all, hope everyone has more drive and motivation than I do and actually finishes their cars!!!!

I just visited Schoenfeld headers today to pick up a set of bent tubes for the 1-7/8" headers I am building. They said that if I tack the tubes and send them back, they will make me a set of single-piece tubes to replace them (at a cost). I mentioned that I could probably sell a few sets on here and SNS. I have a 67 that has a Checkered front clip (similar to most out there) and, of course, an LSx. If anyone is interested, I can possibly have a set or two made.

Default S and S

S and S is no longer in business. I myself sold and used many sets from them. They were an excellent product and fit was excellent.

Hey Matt,

I know it's been a while but have you had any luck with this?

Thanks!

"They are a pretty nice piece for the money"It's hard to beat those long tube headers for that price,the quality is nice,and those headers definitely make power...
