Bigger header primaries

RET_COP · #1 (**permalink**) 08-21-2011, 06:17 AM

Can I buy headers for my B&B Cobra with 1 3/4 primaries ceramic coated to replace my originals of 1 1/2 Primaries?

Bryan has them.

Do you know what the cost would be off the top of your head?

Thanks for the reply. I can see that the rear pipe on the driver side is going to be close to the footbox unless the bigger tube header is bent a little different.

I have the 1-3/4" pipes for my 351w and there's about 7/16" between the corner of the footbox and the header on the driver's side. I asked Barry (when he still worked at B&B) and he said that it would be fine being that close. I still ended up wrapping the header at that spot with header wrap to be on the safe side. I didn't weld my motor mounts until the headers were attached so I was able to push the motor forward as much as possible to get the most clearance.

I decided to switch to the larger headers before I even took the smaller ones out of the bubble wrap. Since they were still brand new, never even mounted, Bryan let me pay the difference between the two as long as I paid for the shipping. I believe the difference was only about $75.
