Ultimate headers for Roadster Shop chassis
My buddy has decided he wants a 70 Chevelle like me, so he's collecting parts for the build (still needs to find a 70 Chevelle lol). Roadster Shop chassis, LSX B15 engine, Whipple 3.0 with Wegner front drive, Tremec trans, etc. The recommended headers from Roadster Shop are made by Ultimate Headers. They showed up a couple days ago, and since my project is in limbo right now I pulled my exhaust off and test-fitted the headers.
Quality is phenomenal, fit is perfect, clears everything easily regardless of engine position, and sit above the bottom of the frame rails. Just wanted to give a shout out to Jim and the guys at Ultimate Headers for a job well done.

Very nice looking headers. Appears the passenger side would need to be removed to access the starter. Is that correct?

Powermaster XS Torque Starters 9509
This worked perfectly on my Wegner LS3 with ultimate headers/RS chassis.

Tried a 9409 PowerMaster (didn’t work, hit header). I have the 9509 on my other Chevelle with Holley long tube headers and it works fine in that setup. I’m going to use a stock (AC Delco) starter (it’ll fit, pretty small).
Oh, that’s my engine and headers btw, lol

Interesting, did you adjust it? (the body can rotate).

The tube hit on the round body of the starter, not the solenoid. Clocking wasn't going to help. These are larger tube headers than their normal ones, and we asked them after the starter didn't fit; told us they designed it with a stock GM starter which is smaller.

I think a mini starter would sneak in without removing but I haven't tried. At most loosening the bolts up top would allow it. I'll be out there today, I'll find out.
EDIT: Starter almost goes in, but loosening the upper bolts is all that's needed.

Unexpected family medical bills, which take priority. Also waiting for a slot with my painter Jim. Good thing is my buddy keeps me busy with his car projects...
