New Headers?
Hi there! I have a 81’ and I’m trying to find some good headers to put on my engine. The only problem is I can’t seem to find any that allow my z-bar to fit so I can have my clutch. Just hoping to get some ideas on where to go or any ideas for how to fix this problem!

Can't understand the issue here. Numerous companies make headers to fit C3 Corvette's.
have you looked in the obvious places like Summit and Jeggs?

Do you have an LS or something? Any headers made for a C3 will work with the Z-bar.
I had to remove the Z-bar to fit the headers, though. I may have a photo I can post later. The Z-bar fits fine once installed.

Turns out I don't have a picture handy that shows the Z-bar, but here are the headers, with a rebuilt but stock steering box. You can see the ball for the engine side of the Z-bar, which I removed to rebuild while I hung the headers.
There are lots of long-tube headers, both under car and side-pipe, that will work for this and provide Z-bar clearance.
