Default BBC Headers

Anyone know of a source for a pair of Stainless Steel headers for a Big block? Must have at least a 2" primary tube dia - no sidepipes.

If you find some, let me know. I've been looking but there's nothing.

Stainless Works used to make some, but they don't anymore.

Why are you wanting stainless? I went with these

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-68096/

and i love them nice fitment and look good. But then again my car isn't a show car so i'm guessing that's why you want the stainless

Stainless Works still show the BBC set on the webpage...?? I know they are made-to-order, I bought my set in Dec 2010 when they were having a year-end 10% off sale, and they built them upon receiving my order.

2" primaries.

Stainless works don't make them anymore. I ordered a set in April. After a month they said they decided to "redesign" the BBC headers but it would only take a couple of weeks and then they would start making them again. Well, that didn't happen.

If you can't find stainless these are a nice choice. I bought the painted version and ran them like that for a short while. Then I sent them out to Jet Hot for their heat coating. Now, after 15-20 years they are finally showing a bit of wear on the coating although they still look nice.
