What motor mounts are you using? Do you have any shots from the side that show how far they are hanging down? I am putting bags on mine and want to be able to slam it.

Thanks.

 

The adapter plate are from Trans dapt #4572,and the motor mounts are the short/wide sbc mounts for First generation sbc,from looking at the pictures the headers don't hang low(perfect,side by side to the trans pan),the lowest thing under the car is the oil pan(LQ9 truck pan).Slaming shouldn't be a problem far as headers are concern.

 

Great info!

I assume these will fit for a TCI clip on a 63 Nova. Does it have the bugs for the O2 sensors on them?

 

No oxygen bugs,no collector flanges

 

Look at the pictures,They come just as seen in the pictures,I had just pull them out the box.I'm going to order some 3'' flanges,and some collector with oxygen bung already installed.

 

Can you send me a PM with the info from where you bought them.

 

Just go to Shoenfeld Headers.com or call them like I did (479)474-7529 Prt#186Ls1-3

 

I get my schoenfeld parts from smileys racing in mesquite tx, about a 25 min drive from me.

I dont belive schoenfeld sells to the public, you have to call them and get the dealer nearest to you. that said, they are VERY affordable.

 

Well all I can do is tell you what happen to me,I call them,Asked for this prt#186ls1-3 they asked me if I had a account,I said no, I just want to buy a set of headers and they sold them to me.I don't think it get much simpler than that,Hey it work out fine for me.

 

Thanks for posting this. Im trying to figure if they will fit my TCI clip.

Are they close to hitting anything, anywhere?

 

Well on my 67 nova with the heidts front clip they clear everything like you would want them to 100%.Now for the TCI front clip I would think so but not 100% sure,I've been told that the TCI frame rails are narrow so I don't know if that is on the inside or the outside of the engine bay.If it was mind I would try it because,if the frame rails are narrow I would think that might give me even more clearance so I would try them.

 

Wish I would have known about these sooner, could have saved some bucks.....oh well.....nice find for sure, thanks for sharing the info.

T,

 

It looks like its going to be tough to get the plug wires on?

 

Wires is not a problem,I think that the car wires are first choice,because the truck wires are longer,and on the passenger side short wires are best because of the way the tubes are bent.

 

Do you have any pictures of the trans mount? Looks like you are using the stock mount. Did you relocate it back, modify it or use something different?

Did anyone find out if these will work with the TCI clip? TCI clip is narrower at the firewall than the other clips.

 

Are we going to flip to see which one of us orders a set to see if they fit the TCI clip?


Also, im still not seeing how you get the plug wires on without running them over then under the header tubes on some cylinders which I wouldnt want to do.
