howdy all, still won't 2 know if i put a sbc in my 54 210 if like 55 chevy fenderwell headers or others would work . thanx , some guy on here said look at old threads the 1s i looked at said nuth'n about fenderwell headers KILLER GREEN
Lots of posters who simply say, "Do a search" don't even know. Hang loose, K.G. You'll get some answers. Seems feasible, but somebody here will know for sure. Your other option is to ask the various header manufacturers.
I have seen a few 54's with those headers but you just need to get a set and make them fit...you are not going to find a set to just go on...
What your askin probably hasnt been done much. If I was doing it id try the 55s . even if you have to modify them it easier than scratch building some. There use to be fender well headers for stuff like Chevy IIs and jeeps also.
Check out Speedways "fat fender" fenderwell headers. They list them as 1935-'48 but a couple guys I know used them on early '50's Chevies with a sbc.
Tip for you, K.G. Looks like you haven't done an introduction yet...and that puts a lot of members off. LOTS of smart guys here, but they might not be as inclined to help someone...esp a new member...who doesn't get with the program. Do an introduction. Also, you might try not using "2" for the word "two", and such. The more sense your post makes, the more likely you'll get help, too. Just tryin' to steer ya straight. Welcome to the Hamb.
Lol. Just trying to help him to get more answers. He asked how. Here's another half-baked thought. I don't know how many times I've seen someone ask a question, then 5 minutes later, they're gone...the little red light is off. Makes me feel like I'm talkin' to the wall if I try to help. Always nice when they hang out for a while, listen to the guys that do try to help, and maybe even say "thanks". But...who am I to talk? Maybe they have to poop or somethin'...lol.
Yeah, you might want to look at Speedways Fat fender headers...I have a set on my truck, and they come out pretty straight, I could see them fitting a number of cars and trucks...might be an alternative?
