C4 BBC headers
Does anyone know where I could find a set of BBC headers for the C4.
I am considering going over the edge.....I have a complete 454+30 Solid roller, forged 12.5, square port heads w/2.30 intake 1.88 exhaust etc etc. T400 with HD sprag, Trans Brake etc etc. Its distination was to be my malibu. But the damn vette keeps staring at me. I don't know what i am going to do, just considering the radical change.
Anyone know about the BBC c4 headers or do you think I have finally snapped?
Which reminds me, is there a cure or even apatch for this POWER crazed addiction?

There is a cure... It's called twin turbos on a stroked SBC. Is it even possible to fit a BBC in the C4 engine bay?? Man what a squeeze. Not to mention you'd be way front heavy.
Having said all that, it would be a BLAST to drive!! go for it, but I think custom headers are in your future...

I hate having someone do any work to my cars. It is hard to find someone who works as hard or honest as I do on them. I noticed once a post about a guy with LPE BBC headers. But so far I have not found them.

200 lbs for block only or is that the whole package pan to intake? That would really suprise me. I know that the spring rates on early corvettes were different for BB and SB cars by a few hundred pounds. LPE = $$$. You could get some custom stepped headers done in stainless for what they'll charge you I'm sure...
There is no substitute for cu in..

That may be a problem if I roaded it lot. But I hardly ever drive it anyway. I have seen a ton of street/strip cars etc. But Nothing and I mean nothing looks better than a Corvette all done up to be a pounder.
Granted I am a little attached to the Corvette. Just a little....
