I need a few pic of headers listed above, driver's side. C2 or C3. I need to see how they clear the steering shaft and clutch bell crank. I'm experimenting.
Thanks. That does help. Some BB pics would still be appreciated.

As far as how they look.........I fricking love the way they look......I would go so far as to employ the 4" "Hot Pipes". I did that on my 74 Ragtop!!! I love it .....Dates, well not so much!
I've the 65 20 couple years and always had Hooker sidepipes. I love the look as well. But the sb primares are 1 7/8". Too big I think for a sb around 425 hp. The Hooker bb primaries are 1 3/4 which should be about right.

So are you inquiring about SB or BB Im confused? Title says BB and your last post says SB?

My engine is a sb 355 but it puts out C2 bb hp. I'm trying to modify bb headers to fit a sb. 1 3/4 primary tube headers are hard to come by and expensive for a gen 1 sbc. I called Hedman since they make both sb and bb side pipe headers for a C2/3. Should be easy to make. They are not interested.
I had the hooker sb ceramic side pipe headers, and yeah, too big for a 327 in mild trim. Just checked, hooker and Doug's both have 1 7/8 primaries. Not sure why.

Well they made SB ones in the past as I have a set on my car.
I only had one historical picture of my Hedman's installed.
The others show areas that were dented to clear other parts.
The spark plug clearances were increased when I used them on a raised port head.
The starter would have been a full size, not a mini, which should clear ok.
Hope these help.

I never thought about the plug wires but I don't use the covers. If it's too involved I won't do it.
Thanks for the pics! They help.
