How did you fix your problem? with the headersIf you are talking 600+ HP, perhaps you should build your own? I built my own, it allowed me to configure the headers exactly as I wanted for my desired powerband. It also lets you make actual equal length headers(which 90% of headers on the market are not) with true merge collectors(again 90% of the headers do not have) with v-band flanges(instead of the cheap 3 bolt flanges). In the end building my headers took about 3 days of labor, but it was well worth the effort spent, I got my pieces here:

What engine are you running and how many horse power? I have to have mine custom made. Are you running cut outs?Has anyone had any luck getting 1 7/8 headers into a 1965/66. I'm not looking to cut shock towers. I don't mind if they are 100% custom. Everyone out there seems to only be able to get 1 3/4 in there. I'm deciding on my engine config and its going to be high revving and at least 600hp.
thanks for the info., I have a 1 5/8 ths on til I get it to a shop. I have power rack which interferes with other headers. and ordering them so I need to have them custom made a shop. thanksHow did you fix your problem? with the headers

I live in California. I was looking to find some place to drive to with in 200 miles. I have to brake in my clutch and new brakes.I have RRS coil over strut front suspension with shock tower removed
thank you for the information. I will be calling Cone Engineering.How did you fix your problem? with the headers

In my 65 with 408w 640hp I custom fabricated 4-2-1 nascar style headers 1-7/8 primary merged to twin 2-1/4 secondary merged to a 3'' collector. It took a lot of fabrication, had to notch my towers etc. I did not want a sharp bend in the primaries coming off the head, cuz that is required with stock shock towers.How did you fix your problem? with the headers
Thank you so much for your help. I have come on this site to find help. I came here for help. And mostly have been insulted. I am in California where did you have your header built? I do have my shock tower notched out. I have RRS front coil overs. And total control power rack. I was hoping to find someone with the same set up. That was successful with this set up and maybe had a jig or measurements for assembly .In my 65 with 408w 640hp I custom fabricated 4-2-1 nascar style headers 1-7/8 primary merged to twin 2-1/4 secondary merged to a 3'' collector.

I think your only solution is to have a set custom fabricated.
For what its worth, I have about $1200 in materials alone just to build my headers, flanges, bends, choke collectors, etc all 304 stainless, plus a month of fabrication. So paying $2-3k for a set of nice custom headers is not that bad of a deal as long as the quality is there
