Installing a 383 in the '63, double-checked and this engine has 1/2" raised port heads. Is anyone aware of an off the shelf header that will fit in this situation?
Concerned that going with a "normal" set will result in issues with the tubes/collectors hitting other parts of the engine and/or car. Also need to clear the clutch "Z" arm.
I had called Doug's tech. support prior to posting here, and they seemed pretty adamant that their 334 would cause interference issues with the 1/2" raised ports.
Do you have sidepipes? I also have a 383 and used these headers from Summit. No power steering so easy installation. Awesome sound with original sidepipes.
Planning on something similar to this kind of side exhaust: headers going into (small) mufflers, then through stock crossmember, into cross over and then out sides.
