I will have 1 7/8 stainless header options for the 3rd gen and I will have the older trans tested against the LS headers as well. These stainless headers will also be well under the cost of any other header on the market. Also these headers will use the traditional collector that is welded on and not just bolted to the header.

I have an old 3rd gen movie car that’s getting a monster engine so I will definitely need at least a 1 7/8 for my build so I know there is a demand for larger headers especially with the GEN IV engines.

i'd be interested in a set of the 1 7/8" headers with 3" or 3.5" collectors if they were at a good price Otherwise I'll be out in the garage building a set shortly.

That's what I'm saying...I believe I can cut out and reclock some of the tubing or remake that one tube on a set of F body headers on the passenger side and make those work

just buy some big tube G-body headers and reangle 2 of the tubes to weld onto a ls1 style flange, I wouldn't even bother with anything else. Several of my buddies have done this with aftermarket 1 7/8" gen1 sbc headers and moved 2 tubes over a bit on either side.

We will have the Monte headers as one of the first sets of headers after this batch

The first headers are

63-81 Corvette
PS those are gorgeous Corvettes, we have a 66 black convertible that we are building and I have always been a big fan of the 63-67 body style.
73-87 GM truck
70-81 Camaro
1967-69 F-body
These have been prototyped and will be off for production very soon.

Prices will be under $600 for the stainless. Exact cost will be up once I have them ready to ship.
What motor are you looking for on the WS6?
I just pulled in a wreaked 00 WS6? Or I can set you up with just a long block.

The third Gen will be after this first batch of cars but I have the mock up cars at the shop and just need to take care of a few customer installs, and get the first set of kits and headers into production

headers will be 1 3/4 and 1 7/8 with 3in ball collectors.
The vettes I have in 2in.

Any luck on finding a new Monte yet? The one you had took such a nasty hit right after you got it running? That’s just painful after all that work!

Nate give me a call on my cell so we can talk about the 65 do you want a full install or just mock up?
678 873 0847

The truck kit uses the OEM crossmember and I build adapter brackets to attach it to the advanced adapter brackets. I also have a OEM TH-350 NP203 going in the mock up truck for a customer and ill dig up a 4 speed and see what I can come up with.

I still need a AC/PS/PB Nova for mock up or a first gen

I have two mustangs next door to the shop and after I get the current batch of kits from prototyping into production ill go after a couple ford including the fox body as well.

Yes sir, was definitely painful wreck and painful to see the car tore up, but already got a new one. Going with an 86 ss, got a bunch of the covers powder coated for the motor, and the motor is at the machine shop. Anxious to be back in a monte.
