Sanderson shorty headers
Is there any shorty headers for 455?
Looking for headers that will not drag on the floor that I don't have to pay a small fortune for.

correction, the 455 Sanderson headers are 1-7/8" dia. I am using them on my 48 Olds because of clearance issues

The O455 header fits Oldsmobile 455 engines in a variety of street rods and customs which do not have a crossmember under the center of the engine. The compact design of the O455 clears all types of steering and motor mount setups.
Includes all hardware necessary for installation.

I don't think I can run those in my Cutlass. I guess my only option is American Racing or raise the car back up. I think all the other headers are hanging way too low. My hooker headers on my 350 are only couple of inches of the ground. My car is lowered I had to put 1/2" spacer in my spring cause I couldn't get out of my driveway without scraping. I don't want to that with 455.

I clicked on the Summit link and watched the video they have. It is very informative about the difference between full length and shorty headers. The Hedman shorties do not fit a 455.

I ended up buying Doug's ceramic coated. It seems better quality than hooker. Made out of thicker steel. I will post how they fit in few weeks when they arrive with the engine. $729 free shipping.

I ended up returning Doug's headers, driver side fit ok but passenger wouldn't even bolt up. After they were returned I spoke with a tech from Doug's, he said they it was their mistake and headers were not built right from the factory. he also mentioned I wasn't the only one with the issue.
So I went with ARH and after some modifications they are in the car. On ARH I had to tweak the driver side.
I started thinking maybe it's my car, but my old Hooker headers ($50 at the swap meet) fit with no issues so it couldn't be the car.
If I had to do it all over again, I would go with DMR headers.
