headers and sidepipes

[Ferraridriver69]

Hello fellow members.
Last time I posted a question I received excellent help and advice. Thank you again.
We are getting close to completing the restoration of the Classic Roadster we have been working on.
It is a Chevy powered version. I have been trying to find chrome headers and sidepipes for this vehicle. Some that I have found have the collector dead in the center of the header where ours is roughly between cyl 3 and 4.
With all the knowledge on this forum i was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction.
Thank you kindly

Karl,

Suggest you get in touch with Craig White at Absolute Pace in Australia Absolute Pace - Kit Car Manufacturer of Cobra & GT40 Replica's and other modern Sportscar kits (formally Race Car Replicas Australia)

I'm currently building one of his Pace 427SC Cobras and I'm fitting a supercharged GM LSA with TR6060 MG9. While the Pace can accept Ford, GM or Lexus V8's, there are a large number of people fitting LS3's and LSA's into Pace Cobra's here (we're not so 'brand focused' down under and us 'Dark Side' peeps obviously couldn't care less about fitting Ford motors!).

Craig has developed headers for the Pace 427 to suit the LS motors. And he is going to be building live side pipes as well. He may be able to help you out with a solution.

Just to let you know that he is extremely busy and you may have some trouble reaching him...but he will eventually get back to you.

Your chances of finding chrome chevy headers and side pipes for a Classic Roadsters are slim to none. I don't know why the website is still up but the business has been shut down for five or six years now. Since this a resto you will probably have to evaluate what you already have and get them chromed yourself.

Your best bet would be to purchase the side pipes you want and just take your car to a good race fab shop and have the headers built on the car. Have the headers ceramic coated. You don't want chrome side pipes, they won't last. What you want is polished stainless.
