Default 67 Chevy II Exhaust

This is what I did for my passenger side exhaust manifold using the stock 99 F-Body part.....when you can find anything else.

Your setup looks good. Short of making up your own set of header this looks like the way to go. Do you any pictures of your interior that you could share. I see in your sig you are using 95 GP seats and wonder how they fit the Nova. I have a 64 that I'm currently working on and need seats.

Not at work, will need to get from home...
They do fit well, my opinion, with the headrest not to high. I did need to put in new mounting holes and reinforcements for the seats.

I think an LS-7 exhaust manifold setup may also be a good way to go for a big cubic inch engine but I'm not sure where they would dump out around the motor mounts. You may be able to bolt on some C-6 Z06 exhaust pipes to the stock manifolds and cut them off after they make the turn to the rear of the car. I'll have to look under my hood later today to see if that's workable. The stock Z manifolds are said to flow very well for what they are and you should be able to pick up some take-offs at a really good price.

I have a pair of the Z06 manifolds and they were worse then the ones I am using. If it's big hp you're looking for, then you need to go custom.

You are right but at some point you have to stop spending so much and drive the car. Those LS-7 manifolds make 505 HP on a 427 so they will make at least that much on a 454. This thing weighs 3150 or so with an engine that is going to make goobs of torque. A set of custom headers made by a guy that lives around here is said to start at $1500 and go up. You get the idea. I just want to finish it and get on the road. Do you know of any off the shelf headers that will fit a 64 Nova with an aftermarket clip? Chris at Chassicworks might make a set.

Hedman block hugger shorties fit mine almost perfectly. Another member on here in Chicago has a line on long tubes made for a TCI clip that you can get for $650 or so coated. Let me know if you want pictures of my shorties or the name of the guy for long tubes.

I was wondering if you could use the fenderwell headers in a stock front clip chevy II, by cutting the flanges off and some of the primarys, getting a set of LS flanges and making a new set of primarys for the new flange. It would be an easy solution if you wanted to run fenderwells.

I would also be interested in the header info. I sent a PM.

My 63 with an iron 408 needs some long tube help immediately.

Thanks,


Jamin
