Hello, looking for used or someone who can build a kick *** set of headers for a t bucket sbc. Any help would be great, thanks in advance. Kind of like something in the picture.
Here is some on a model a coupe, I believe its one Bob Hilton built. Its on Gear Drives website. http://www.lakeheaders.com/
What you have pictured would be loud and look RRish. Kings has come up here several times as problematic. Don't know what their current status is; http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/help-contacting-dan-king.488054/
Personally I would advise against zoomies but I am a hot rodder and not a newstalgia guy. If you want zoomies build 'em yourself, any idiot can build a set. If you build 'em yourself you can make them lay in on the cowl properly.
Well I am just going from memory which can be selective but I don't recall ever seeing a streeter with zoomies until the '90s.
******s right , in the 60's you wouldn't make it 10 feet on a public road w/ zoomies & not get a ticket for excessive noise+ anything else they could nail you with while they had you pulled over !! dave
I have to agree with that. I've never seen a street car with zoomies that ran right except at full throttle. Personally they make too much ******** noise in the wrong spot for me. They might be ok for a Pro Fairgrounds car that gets trailered everywhere but you look silly as **** riding down the highway with earmuffs on to dampen the noise from the headers just because you think you are being cool.
That's some wild *** machinery! Don't want to hijack but I'd love to know how the steering is set up.
It uses a boat helm hyd pump and a hyd ram to the spindle arm. Very difficult to steer until you get accustom to it. Since its an "un-balenced" system the wheels do not return to straight on their own and you have to steer them back and the steering wheel does not return to the same posission in your hands.
