Hello, Am looking for some options for headers on a SBC 350 engine in my 1937 Sedan Delivery. The engine has been stroked to 383 and is a crate motor rated at 420HP. Not looking to burn up the streets, rather for cruising. The front end has been converted to Mustang II IFS. My main concern is about clearance for the frame members, steering, etc. I expect that the inner fender panels will have to be modified. Thanks for any and all help. Gregg

I could have sworn that this was a early Ford V-8 forum and not one having anything to do with SBCs.

Yeah, I think they are called huggers of some sort. This might be the best (safest) way to go. It does complicate spark plug access sometimes. Shorter plugs may be required. Thanks for the suggestion. Gregg

Gregg, Welcome to the V8 club, if your new, and hope you'll join if not. Your sedan delivery sounds nice and sounds to me like it fits the "Ford V8 rule"! Headers: Sanderson makes very good ones, yes block huggers #CC1T, that fit in tight and depending on steering choice should pose no problems. Since inner fenders are outside the frame, no big problem there either. Keep in touch and how about a photo. Ron.

Yes, give the Sanderson people a call and get their catalog, it has all the measurements you will need. Because you are using a Mustang front end you won't have steering box issues. "Block Huggers" might be the way to go. I don't think you will need to modify your inner panels, the "Block Huggers" are tight to the center of the block, inside the frame.
