BB Hedman sidepipe headers?
I'm considering these, mainly because the price is reasonable and I've had good luck with this brand in the past. Anyone running these that could comment on fit and finish? I'd really like a set of Stahl full length sidepipe headers, but the price (1K) leaves them out of reach for now.
I have to run some sort of improved exhaust to allow me to install the L-88 cam and a set of LS-7 heads I have ready. The goal is really stupid horsepower...

Deal! Send me your address to: hcabplanalp@ucdavis.edu, and figure out what you need for shipping. I'll pay with a postal money order.
Just so we're clear, they'll fit a '69 BB, and are in decent shape, right? I relize the primary tubes are a bit small, but that cam isn't ideal either for real HP. Should be an improvement over the oval port heads and iron manifolds anyway.
Thanks!

If you have aluminum heads, they won't work. At least that's the small print on their site and an email I got from them a while back. Something about them not matching up to the exhaust ports exactly.

Should work..
The Alloy heads have "D" port exhaust ports, but LS-7 GM castings are still square, if I have it right. Never used the aluminum BB heads, but may in the future to save weight, but for now, these will work fine.
