need help identifying what these headers will work on!
hey everyone. I am more with the C-4 crowd, as I have a 95 firebird myself. But, my dad has had a set of corvette headers that supposedly came off a vette with a big block in it. They are the side exit type, like the long tube headers go back just behind the front wheel well, then go out to the rockers and follow the rockers and have turnouts right before the rear tires. They look really nice, I don't think there is any rust on them, but I was hopin maybe someone can help me figure out what exactly they would fit. Like I said, big block side exit headers... Any ideas? Does the big block narrow it down or not?
He is wanting to sell them, as they are not doing us any good, and we want to get our father son project car going, so how much would these babies be worth to the right person??
Thanks in advance!

lol I see. Well, I will try to get some pics up tomorrow. I have college in the AM, and work in the PM until 7, so hopefully after that I can snap some quick pics.
Thanks!

Well, these things have been hangin in my dads garage for as long as I can remember... I didn't clean them up or anything. It looks like there may be some surface rust where the primaries come together.

BB? Do you mean Big Block? Or is that a brand name? The primaries look huge, as does the side pipes. They would flow some mean exhaust gases! I have not seen a 95 firebird with side mount exhaust, but I bet it would look sweet! Too bad these are not even close to fitting my small block 385...

As for what they're worth, depends on how well they clean up, and which mufflers are in them. New ones are anywhere from $1200-$1500 depending on where you get them from.

yep Big Block hoooker headers and side pipes two components actually
*** bad shape either
They will fit 68 to 82 vettes, and some early generation camaros to possibly

So this bitch would be loud! Damn I wish they would fit on my bird now! Looks like Ill have to get them cleaned up and make sure there is no rust damage and get these babies down the road! I really appreciate you help so far, and if anyone else has comments, feel free to post up!
Thanks!

ok I will definately do that when I take them down to clean them up. I know they will shine to beat hell too, there doesn't appear to be any dents in them either. Someone will be reall happy with these babies!
