Anyone recognize these BBC headers????
Guys,
I've had these doggone headers hanging in my garage rafters for 15+ years, thinking I would maybe use them someday in my C2 race car, but I recently found out they don't fit a C2. Anyone recognize this old design, and know if they'll fit in a C3??? The masking tape label on one of the collectors says BBC & vette, but I'd like to have some idea that they are indeed Vette headers before I off them. Are they old "Eagle" headers??? They have 2" tubes and 3-1/2" collectors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyone interested in them, shoot me a PM and we can wheel and deal, LOL.
Sincerely,
John A, 67L88Vette

Good eyes and thanks for the replies, but after looking at the area, it's just an artifact... I looked the flanges better, and each one is stamped twice (between the front tubes and between the last tubes) with GM and a 9 unde rthat, all upside down.... I know GM had Kustom Headers make side exhaust headers for the L88 program (I know, I have two sets now) that had GM and a part number stamped on them, but did GM make Corvette under car headers as well?? Never heard of that. Maybe they are for a Camaro after all... very strange... If anyone else can shed light on these headers, I'm all ears....

I'm sure this isn't your answer, but the primary tubes on those run just like the McJacks headers in their online photos.

DS, you're right, they are very similar... some difference in the collector shape, but maybe these headers are for 70 - 74 BB Vettes.... Is there a difference in frame etc between a 68-69, and 70-74 that would cause header fitment issues??
