350 G Body Headers

Ik there is a few of you running headers in a 350 G body setup. What brands? How's the fitment? Been looking at hooker super comps.

 

Mine were claimed as Poston 1 3/4 headers (i bought them used). they look just like hooker super comps. The driver side if I remember correctly takes a little bit of hammering by the motor mount and I had to do some to fit my column shift linkage. The passenger side I would have to look, I took a little bit off the frame by the control arm mount and I use a 3 inch cutting wheel on the headers and tweaked them a bit enough to clear . If I did it again I think I would use 1 5/8 just because I really don't think I need the 1 3/4 but the price was right. 1 5/8 will give you more room I think to play with. I thought about wrapping them ,considering in the summer when I'm running the car down the highway with AC on and stop after a while there's a lot of engine compartment Heat. Maybe it's just me.

Driver side, sorry this took so long I've been really busy with work and helping out my dad with harvest. If you known as the column shift area I had hammerd in to work and by mount. Except the first picture is the passenger side

 

Passenger side

 

I'm located 30 miles about straight west of Dubuque 50 or 60 miles east of Waterloo 1 mile off U.S. 20. If you're in the area and you'd like to check it out for ideas or thoughts let me know.

 

Maybe, just maybe TA will do up some G-body headers with the new heads, I think that demand might be there now ...

 

Adding to this, I used hooker 1103hkr super comps, fit great, must install from below. they are now discontinued as far as i know.

 

This is good to know, no “clearancing” or anything ? I’d love to find a set if that were the case …

 

On a g body, the drivers side rubs the rear lca mount a bit. Smack it with a 3lb sledge till it doesn't. Other than that, they fit super nice, tuck up really high. I've got a g force dual hump crossmember and plenty of room. You may need to grind on the shift lever bracket too on the trans. Again, this is in a g body, my 85 regal with new body bushings.

 

I have the same set up in an 81 Century wagon, same crossmember so this is good info. I did the TA Shortys on the 455 G-bodies I had in the past and they worked great, always hopes they would do a shorty version for the 350. Maybe now that the aluminum heads are in production it might happen ? 350 is gonna get to be a popular option I think

 

Heads are super expensive, but I'd pay good money for shorty 350 headers. At least $500, which is what the hookers cost a few years ago when I bought em.
