Default Anyone run Stainless Works headers on Art Morrison subframe?

I have a 69 Camaro with a LS-1 engine and soon to be Art Morrison subframe, I was wandering if anyone has ran the stainless steel headers from Stainless Works with this chassis.

I dont think it would be a problem....would be nice to check with one of the guys that had the headers already in a Aftermarket style sub to see what kind of steering clearnce you have. Why dont you use the AME headers?

Default Headers

They do not offer a Stainless steel header. Seems like the coating on regular steel headers fade after a couple of months of running.

I know that my AME headers are very close to the lower control arm mounting on my AME subframe so it seems unlikely that headers from someone else would fit.

Stainless works would fit perfectly here as an sponsorin vender. I think there would be lots of good products to develope for pro touring / g machine cars.

So here are my thoughts. Since Stainless Works makes Wayne Due chassis headers, I think they will be damn close! My bet is you would not have to do anything, and put one whoppie in a tube or 2, which is easy since they are stainless and you can buy the exact materials the headers are built with.

Craig mentioned in a thread back when they introduced the frame they were fit checking the WD headers for fitment, but never heard back. I would bet they are going to work with minimal or no issues.

This must be the butthead engineer coming out in me. My AME headers clear the rear control arm mount on the right side by 1/8". On one hand it's hard for me to imagine that someone else's headers would do better but on the other hand I cannot understand why AME cut this so close - there appears to be plenty of room for them to make the clearance wider.

I guess I'm also choking a little on the prospect that the lower cost SW stainless headers might fit better than my ceramic coated AME headers...
