Sorry to post this here but we don't have a specific exhaust area on this site.
Is anyone running a BBC in a second gen with headers? Can you please tell me how they fit, what brand and model and what transmission and clutch linkage you are using. And of course if you are happy with them or not.
Thanks,
Eric
I'm running a pump gas 556 all aluminum BB standard deck Dart block and we tried various stepped headers to no avail...... Ultimately I had a custom set of headers built and I think there would be a fairly decent size market for someone in the industry to jig a set up and corner the market as no one seems to interested at this point so far....

You can find more big block header stuff on drag racing sites. A lot of people seem very pleased with lemons headers. I ordered a set of custom collectors from him and the header kit, then had someone build mine here since I have a large engine set back. Nice guy to. http://www.lemonsheaders.com/main.htm
I have hooker headers on mine. when I ran them with my stock heads they fit better than any other headers I have had. now I have a set of merlin aluminum heads on it and the exhaust ports are raised and the spark plugs are angled slightly different. they fit "ok" but a little hard to pull the plugs. also when I had the stock heads there was a good amount of room to run the plug wires under the headers. now it's kinda tight. overall I am happy with them though.
Hey Eric, have you tried asking on teamcamaro.com? They may have some insight as well.
I saw a lot of people running HOOKER headers on their big blocks this past weekend. I hear LEMON's makes a good, but expensive header.
GOOD LUCK!
Thanks for all the input guys. I have been doing some reading and it seems to be the Hookers fit well out of the box with stock type heads and also clear clutch linkage. I have not tried them yet.
I used the super comps when I had a small block. The only problem I had was them scraping on the ground, they ended up being the lowest point on the car.
