They are Chassisworks headers as they are specific to their subframe. These of course are for BBC with 2" primaries. I modified the three bolt flange and had a 3.5" V-Band welded in its place. Looks like they fit '68-'72 Nova's as well when using their subframe.

I thought those were a modified set of our headers. Can't wait to see the whole thing together!

Yes, the same headers fit the 68-72 Nova when running our subframe.

Some progress on the firewall...almost there. The trans tunnel modification is complete. Paint soon.

Looks good,that's a lot of work but will pay off

Just when you thought a plan was coming together doing my brake upgrade Chassisworks sends me the old style obsolete SL6R calipers that now don't match the rear ones. The new style has been out for two years now. I even pointed out to them they have the old style in their catalog and was ensured I would not receive the old style. Found the new style part number that is a match with Wilwoods help. Ugh! Waiting for them to swap them out.....if they will call me back that is. Sorry being patient just a little annoyed

Liking the way this turned out.

Firewall complete...moving on to some bodywork. Car has been stripped. The original quarters need just a bit of work but overall in decent shape. Elected to save them versus aftermarket.
