where to buy headers??
I can't find any listings for headers that will fit my 1971 BB on the summit page. I found the listing for headman headers but from past posts, people seem to be recommending hooker's headers.
Any inputs??

Re: where to buy headers?? (tworottiedogs)
Summit definately has more than the web site shows. Or maybe I just had a hard time navigating it. I just put on a set from them that I guess were their generic headers because they were only $79.50. The part # is SUM-G9003 for a 68-82 Corvette with 265-400ci engine. I'm sure the more expensive sets are better but my wife was going to kill be if I spent $300 on more parts for the car. I can get away with it in a few years if these wear out (but I hope they don't) :nonod:
Good luck,

I have a 71 BB also and ordered Heddman ceramic coated headers from Summitt a few weeks ago. Just call and talk to the sales rep. They are extremley knowlegeable. I have not had a chance to get them on yet, working on the brake calipers, but will keep you posted.

I worked at Summit as Chevy tech/sales person. The Cat only shows a small part of what they can get from every vendor.
Headers - especially coated ones are a lifetime investment. So get the best you can. My advice is to get the bigger primary. Because if they are bigger than the head exhaust port you get anti-reversion properties. then in the future if you step up on heads you already have the headers that fit.

Re: where to buy headers?? (tworottiedogs)
tworottiedogs, Summit definitely carries all the headers to fit our cars. I also have a set of 2 1/8 hooker supercomps for sale. They are brand new and jet-hot coated, but they hang very low under the car that is why I am not using them.
