Is it possible to use a set of small block olds headers on a big block? I don't have a SBO for comparison but since the difference between the two is a raised seck I thought it could be an option. Are there any Shorty headers available for an Olds? I haven't found ant yet but that could also solve a few problems. I seem to remember Hooker offering a set of 455 Olds headers for a Firebird, presumably for a 403 upgrade. Sinde the F-Body and X-body share a common subframe it seems these might be compatible. It seemed to be such a no brainer idea for a swap, power to weight that there must be somthing that works without too much fab work. Strait pipe out the hood?
