    I just switched from the special stock susp sanderson headers to a set of Headman block hugger when I installed my MII front end. but those are on stock heads.

    I have heard Tri-five fenderwells fit, and I have heard that they take some modification. But I would love to know as well if anybody has done it. I also learned on here that Chevy II/Nova fenderwells may work. I'm planning on trying either the Tri five or the Nova fenderwells and see how it goes! I refuse to use block huggers so I'm kinda' rolling the dice!

    Hey Guys,
    as strange as it sounds, this may help you both out..there is a company that makes "conversion kits " and "headers" ( available in chrome or steel finish )for a "toyota land cruiser/ chevy small block v8 swap they are 280ish raw and 360ish chromed, about 3" longer than the block and exit almost at crank center line, the co name is .something? /adapt . I found them on google after I found a set of the headers on "C" list (in the 3 pic the headers are on a modified HJ )
