Mustard Dog 10-29-2002, 08:34 AM Gonna go the header route on the 350 in the Cruiser. Any of you know if the block hugger style will clear the steering column/shaft on a Cruiser with the Saginaw conversion? Eskimo 10-29-2002, 09:43 AM Mine clear just fine... my pump lines are closer than the shaft... If I knoew the P/O well enough, they are the cheapest ones you can get.. Prolly the $79 Summit Racing ones. I've heard people here say headers contrbute to overheating... YMMV. woody 10-29-2002, 10:06 AM They clear....also, Summit will tell you they don't clear the motor mounts, but there is plenty of room with the Advance Adapter style. The only tight point is the nose of the starter, but I've yet to ahve an overheat problem. IMO, huggers are not nearly as bad as the fenderwell exit headers for heat issues. DCruiser138 10-29-2002, 01:09 PM ya the noise of the starter is way close to the flange where the tubing bolts up. other than that they fit nice. the only complaint is they are getting this gay white coating after running them. if i took em off i could repaint em...but thats a joke! Mustard Dog 10-29-2002, 01:16 PM Thanks guys. I'm probably goin with a set from Sanderson with the Jet Hot Coating.;) Medusa 10-29-2002, 03:58 PM As cool and neat as your engine is, Eric, the Sanderson headers will be perfect. I especially like the valve covers:D Mustard Dog 10-29-2002, 05:54 PM Originally posted by Medusa I especially like the valve covers:D I was gonna have some made with the TIN:skull:BENDER logo, but the minimum order was $2000:eek: :( GloNDark 10-30-2002, 08:35 AM I looked at all the headers for my hooptee as well. I had decided I that I was going to run the summit block hugger, center drop headers for several reasons. One of which being cost. However I ended up throwing a set of ram horn manifolds on it because I got them for free and it's basically the same thing. :D:D Where are the pics of your motor MD?? damn, I haven't been here in a while.

I'll start the "Hell Yeah II" next week showing the cutting up and rebuild of the rear halh of the Cruiser.;) GloNDark 10-30-2002, 11:29 AM Originally posted by Mustard Dog In my "Hell Yeah" thread.

Makes me want to clean mine up while it all taken apart. hhhmmm God knows it ain't going no where right now. :D FredTheMonster 10-30-2002, 11:36 AM I recently put sandersons on my v8 conversion (RamJet 350 crate)... they look and sound great and I was able to put the motor & the power steering where they really should go without compromising anything. I tried block huggers before but could not get my drivetrain in the correct position with them (left to right). | |
