Does anyone make a street friendly header for a small block A-Body? I don't want a full length header, I am looking for a shorty that will give me ground clearance. thanks ahead of time.

NOPE. Not sure why it hasn't been done. Been done for every other car on the planet though..
Don't know if they'll fit an A-body, but Summit lists a bunch of different 'block hugger' and 'shorty' headers to fit Mopar engines - both small block and 3rd-gen Hemi.
Suggest you get on www.summitracing.com and then do a search for both "Mopar block hugger" and "Mopar shorty" and take a look at the pics. You might find something that will work for your application.

Most "block hugger" headers won't work on A, B or E bodies because of the K member. The collecter usually dumps straight into or hits it. These are intended for trucks or street rods and will work on some C bodies or 50's cars.

ya, the huggers dump on the steering box, the dakota headers hit the steering.
I was recently scouring the junkyard and seen a set of shorties on a 87 Diplomat! Don't know the brand though.
I wish somebody made a set of shorty headers for A-bodies .I would buy a set for sure.

Me too. Thats what I was hoping.
I would imagine the Dippy headers are the universals.
Spitfires will work and they fit and flow pretty well from what I hear from the owners of them. I hear the guy that makes them are somewhat of a pain to deal with as in, you have to deal with him COD to keep from being "stroked" in the worse kinda way if you know what I mean. I would love to get a pair myself one day.
