Header advice
Hello all. Just purchased a '56 yesterday that is amazingly clean/rust free. It is all original with the exception of the motor. It has a 302/C4 combination that he 80 year old owner said was out of a 1972 car. It was installed about 25 years ago, so he does not remember many of the details. I have installed headers several times in the past, but it has always been on older cars with the original motor, making the fit selection easier. I have not attempted to buy or install headers on a vehicle with a "new" motor in it. Any advice as to how I would select headers that would clear steering and/or shift linkage on the driver's side? The passenger side looks clear and has plenty of room. Thanks, Glenn
