Anyone know where to find headers to fit into a 70 Wildcat with a 455?

You could use shorty headers.

Yes it sure seems there are no headers available, TA Performance has the shorty headers and apparently someone modified them to work. I only wish they could remember what their customer did to get them to fit. Looks like this may be the only option. Thanks.

If you want full length headers you will have to do a custom made set. Adam, didn't you have a set of shortys on your white Centurion? Did you need to modify them to work?

I had full length on my Centurion...but it was a pretty simple modification(s) compared to what I believe would have to be done on the 70 Wildcat.

Watson Engineering in Taylor, MI did my custom stainless headers if you're anywhere close.

Shortys are impossible to fit the `67 - `70 big car except Riv. Riviera frame rails are farther apart than the other big cars. TA 2012CH full lengths will work, but need to be modified, more than just a ding or two. The #7 tube needs to be routed around the steering box, sometimes there are issues with the upper control arms, but not always. Difference btwn the `67 - `70 big car is the steering box is aft of the engine crossmember, `71 & later is forward of it, thus making it much easier on the Centurions.
