Header Overload

I used a set of Hedman 78030 headers. Passenger side was pretty much a bolt in. The drivers side required substantial reworking. The rear or #7 tube had to cut off and brought straight down. #5 tube had to be cut and tucked in to clear the steering box. Also a little rework for starter clearance. I should also mention the # 7 tube I made removable so it could be slid in from the top. Application 1971 swinger 383-4 speed. Manual steer (o.e. Box). Manual disc brake mc. (Stock location). O.E. z-bar with modifications. I can say my set up would not play nice with your u-joint placement. I did use a u-joint in place of the stock coupler in the original location. Shortened the column collar also. Best of luck. With time and a ton of patience, you can come up with what will work best for you.Swingn’.
