They fit fine - no clearance issues, I decided against tube headers because a number of people said they tend to warp and leak after a while. I don't know if that is true, but these headers are also useful because they have the mounting for the alternator/generator bracket. They show up on eBay on a fairly regular basis if you have an interest in them. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 | I used the Headman blockhugger headers on my 55,they work just fine. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 136 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 136 | I have the same as Dale937 - Headman blockhuggers.

They're for a first generation camaro. Here's how they look with an aftermarket steering box. There's no issue at all on the other side, there's a ton of room http://picasaweb.google.com/ChrisAurit/PhotoHistory#5407788443454507842 | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 |

| | | | | | quirt111 Unregistered | | quirt111 Unregistered | Do your corvette stock headers clear your power steering pump? Is it a power steering box or manual? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 | Just like most of the guys on this post I went with Block Huggers.

Sounds like to me that warping or leaking after-market headers is probably not generally true, or depends on the quality of the headers possibly. Everyone here seems to have positive experiences with their headers. | | |
