Hedman markets 2" primary headers for BBC that accept the A.I.R. sytem (smog pump). They are available coated, or painted. See part numbers 68091, 66891, or 63198.

I just put pre smog cast manifolds on my 454 ,unless you are wanting to run your motor high up in the rev range extractors won't make much difference . With the BB motor taking up more room in the engine bay I found the cast manifolds very good, the shorty block hugger headers would also be similar to the factory cast manifolds
