Do you remember the part number for the flowtech headers? I have a
91 IROC engine installed. When I look at summit, they list two different ones.
Also on the pic, looks like the 3rd plug going to the back is blocked by the header, can you confirm that for me? Thats the problem I have now.

Thanks.
Great build.

Flow tech 11108 I believe. 1967 camaro/chevelle shorty headers. My plug wires are angled heads 90 degrees and they fit with room to spare. I believe you are correct if u have straight wire boots then you might have problems with one or two of the cylinders.

You need the old camaro headers so that they clear the frame rails and motor mounts other headers will hit the frame rails. Even if you have a 91 Iroc motor you will still need the right headers to fit your frame. I guarantee iroc headers will not work.

You can also get shorty spark plugs designed for header applications. They are simply shorter and give you more room to work with. Champion RV92YC #930 shorty plugs are what I was told to use for my sbc 350. I think they are listed under marine applications but apparently a lot of hot rodders use them for clearance issues.

Not yet still messing with front air bags. Waiting for my ss7's to arrive. Can't do the spindles until I install all my new brakes and master cylinder. Hopefully next month. I'm also excited to see it with another 2" drop!

You have some slam 7's? Well assuming KMS hasn't lost them while transfering them from Vancouver to Kelowna... Hahaha maybe I will need yours! I've already paid for the ones at KMS. Supposed to be here almost 2 weeks ago.

I see, so even though the Flowtechs are for my year engine, your saying I will have a clearence issue with the frame. Interesting.

Yes all the small block Chevy motors are the same. All the car frames are different. Since they don't make a proper header for our lowered trucks, the next closest frame match is the 67-69 Camaro and Chevelle.

Finally got my slam ss7 front bags today. Hopefully get them installed tomorrow. These ss6's just don't have any power to lift the front end at 150psi. If I was running 175psi then they might be ok. My compressors aren't rated for it though. If I can get these new slams installed then I can get my front shocks and height sensors installed finally.

[Slammed66]

What compressors are you running?

[Square_78]

400c viairs that came with my Accuair kit. They are rated max 150psi. I have heard of people running them at 175 but I don't know what that's going to do to my compressor life span. I can adjust my pressure on my remote easily if I wanted to. It's got 150, 175 and 200psi setting.

Got the ss7 bags in the front. 100% improvement and lots of lift. Those ss6's are just too small to lift the heavy front end. Rides awesome at all heights.

All up. After the drop spindles go in, the front won't lift quite so high as it does now. 2" less lift because of 2" more drop

Back end all the way up

All down

Next step is get the front shocks mounted and get the ride height sensors mounted so I can use the preset heights and ride control features.
