I just purchased a complete shortblock assembly, and got a set of long tube headers with it. What interference do guys have installing long tubes on the full size cars? I have a welder, body hammers, etc in case they need a 'little persuasion' :laugh:
Sorry to drag up an old thread but I'm looking at long tubes for my '70 electra and I was wondering A) which set you went with and B) what did you end up having to do to make them fit? Thanks
I haven't got far with my project yet. I got long tube headers meant for the small body cars, but they cause interference with the big body cars ive read. I am going with these http://www.taperformance.com/proddetail.asp?prod=TA_2012CSHWC They are a bolt on for our cars, without modification
Right on, I had been looking at those. They seem to be the easier option. I'm still tossing around the idea of modifying a set of long tubes to fit, mainly just because I really am trying to squeeze everything I can get out of this land-yacht and I just love the way long tubes look. I may just opt for the shorties but we'll see. Thanks for the reply!
I figured it would cost as much to mod long tube headers as it would to buy ta headers for my car. Plus long tube headers are a little overkill for my rear end gearing of 2.93
