: Will the stock headers fit, or do I NEED block huggers?
: -Chris
If you mean stock cast iron, while I don't have a set in the shop right
now,so I can't be sure, but an educated guess says no, because without modified
shock towers, the BIGGEST TUBULAR type header that will fit is a 1 7/8". Even an
eighth inch larger will not go. Hugging the block is not really the problem, it's the
width and exit angle of the cylinder heads, as well as 10 lbs. of motor in a 5 lb. bay.
