Had some BB headers laying around but they hit the frame everywhere so I spent about 2 hours online looking for some and reading others build threads about what they used. I settled for some hookers (520-2463) from jegs. First step was getting the pivot ball and Z bar working. Had to make a bracket to bolt onto the block and then tap a hole 2” back and thread the pivot ball into... headers came in this week so I was excited after work to bolt them on. Passenger side fell on. No dents in the pipes or grinding on the frame. Drivers side cleared the frame well but of course they hit the Z bar. So I guess I’m modifying the rear primary tube to clear it. After a couple hours and a piece of tubing from pep boys I got them clearing the linkage. Touched them up with some high temp paint for now but I thinking about wrapping them when the time for final instal comes.. I did grind the frame about a 1/4” at one spot simply to make final install easier..
