    I had a set of headers on my '63 ChevyII when I was a teen, but that was back in the late 60's. If memory serves I think the headers were from Kay Sissell, as was the cam. If I'm wrong the other brand that the headers might have been would have been ****** or Hedman. One thing I do remember very well is that it appeared that the rear header fit one particular way in relation to the clutch cross-shaft. The installation instructions were poor at best. As I struggled to get it in place I finally realized, before I took a hammer to one of the tubes, that the tube routing was different than the way I was trying to install them.

    The engine had 11.5:1 pistons and the cam had a lot of duration and sounded really great with the headers open. I never did have the $$ to install a larger carb and a better intake but even with the single barrel carb the car ran quite well.

    Clifford Headers, 6 = 8, are what I used some 35 years ago. Now, there are some cast iron "headers" available that I think I'd use. Check on E-Bay, probably cheapest that way. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
     
  4. In a pinch get the exhaust manifold from a C60 that had a 292. The exhaust outlet has a three bolt flange and is much larger than a stock 230 intake
