Hello Wise ones,
Last night I picked up a used 454 for my 59 panel! I have the motor and tranny mount figured out but now its time to find some headers. I have seen some block hugger headers in the summit and jegs catalogs I have also seen tight tuck headers advertised. Is there a difference between the two? Does anyone know what will work with the stock manual steeering set up. I want to convert to power steering eventually but will use the stock setup for now if I can.Please advise

don't quote me on this, but i have heard of people using headers from a 1st gen camaro for a small block, so maybe some headers for a 1st gen camaro with a big block may fit. just an idea, good luck, and let me know as i am shopping for a new powerplant for my '59.

Just got some headers for the 59 with a CSB in it. Went with the Block Huggers (Headman) - they only stick out 3 - 3.5" from the block.

I don't know what the CBB headers would be like - but you can call Summit and they should be able to tell you the details.
