Hey Todd,
Where did you find those plug wire insulators?

Thank you Greg for your considerable skills. I wouldn't run wires under the header again. The photo is a header setup for a stock subframe, my new headers are tighter. I have my engine torn down and after inspecting all the wires and boots it was a matter of time before I had a misfire. Mine will be along the valve cover rail. Function then form for me.

Agreed. I spent countless hours trying to get my wires running under the headers and still went through 2 sets before giving up and running them along the valve covers also.

I hope your new engine is coming along nicely Todd! :hail:

Awesome engine Todd. What BBC headers do you guys recommend w stock SF and a steering box? Do they all have to be "clearanced"?

Granted, I have a small block, but in my 91' Camaro I have my wires run underneathe the headers and they are doing great. I routed them that way back in 99' :thumbsup:

You can't beat a set of Lemons. Mine fit perfect.

Jason, I'm running 2 1/8 primaries(Bigger than most cars exhaust) and the headers must hug the block tight for the steering shaft. The factory ran them under in many of the late model small block applications. Two different ball games. The last thing I want is to develop a misfire in the middle of a race or cruise. I always carried an extra plug and wire just because I knew it was a compromise for cleanliness.

chr2002ca 02-05-2010 09:17 AM

Same deal with me. Big block with 2" primaries and they hug the block close due to my steering box(and I would not recommend Hedman headers). Passenger side was easy on the wires. Driver's side was a nightmare, no matter how strategic I was or how much heat shielding I used. It just wasn't meant to be.
