LEMONS HEADERS INC.
’78-’87 G- BODY- BB RACE HEADER
PART # BBR-550
Header Spec’s:
This header is designed for any tube size UP TO 2 ½” with any collector size UP TO 5” or our collector muffler UP TO a 6” size. It has 2 tubes on each side that go around the frame which will require that you trim your inner fender wells for clearance.
What Fits:
We designed this header with the engine in the stock location setting on Moroso frame stands #62630 for the front motor mounts with Moroso #62515 engine mounts. It WILL also fit motor plates and a power brake booster, but it will NOT fit a factory air conditioning box on the fire wall, clutch linkage or column shifter linkage. A tall deck height and raised exhaust port combination that reaches 1” in height or more may require moving the steering column for clearance. It is intended for use with skinny drag racing type tires on the front for maximum clearance of the tubes around the frame. Your master cylinder brake lines will have to be rerouted for clearance.
This header will fit almost all mini starters, except a Miezier 400 or stock GM full sized starter. Available oil pan room for kicked out sumps, measuring from the side of a stock oil pan we have 5 ¼” of room on the passenger side and 6” of room on the driver side. The oil filter is very accessible and the starter can be removed unless you have a big pan kick out. Spark plug access is very good we recommend using a 45 or 135 degree angled spark plug wiring boot. We hold the headers and collectors up as high as possible for ground clearance. If you will be using a large exhaust system you may have to notch the driver side transmission cross member for additional exhaust room, or we now offer a chrome moly transmission cross member for additional exhaust room.
We carry Power Master #9540 starters.
