Re: headers

i would use headers designed for the year camaro that the clip is from.

i am going to be using headers from a camaro on my nova clipped truck. the nova clip and camaro clip are basically the same, especially once they are cut up some and installed in one of these trucks. i know they should fit, because i installed them with my motor into the nova that i took the clip from, before i disassembled it.

Re: headers

I would go with the camaro headers. The motor sits way down in these camaro clips, not a lot of clearance below the heads. I just ordered a set for my 50 chevy w/ camaro clip.

Re: headers

I installed a 76 Nova front clip (with a chevy 427ci)on my 59, the Nova/Chevelle Big Block Chevy Hooker headers fit perfectly. And it was a tight fit.
