I came across this article from Hot Rod regarding the infamous footnote that indicates no header will fit the 65-67Cutlass Supreme.

Nice for those with 442/400 big block. No real change for small block Cutlass owners.

With the exception of the Cutlass S note, those sporadic problems with installation has always existed. The main issue with the 64-67 A bodies is with the lack of support for a reasonably priced header for an SBO. I don't see anything accomplished here besides removing the note.

Perhaps you should contact them. I don’t see why they wouldn'tbe receptive to this request. God knows there are a lot of SBO in these Abodies. It could be fairly lucrative for a company to start production of aheader that could fit the SBO.

I don't think it's a lucrative endeavor for them. I know it's tight in there and you'd think since these cars have been around for 40+ years, you'd a thought if it were feasible they would have done it years ago when there were more of these cars around.

It actually could be quite lucrative, of the 64-67 Cutlasses left with SB's I would beat there is a huge amount of them that would love to be able to get there hands on a reasonably priced set of headers. A large amount of these cars are owned by people like myself with some cash to throw around and wish they could.

I just wish there was someway to get one of these places to do this, I have tried to contact some of these manufacturers and they hide from there customers like they done something wrong. I know American Racing Headers builds them but they are such works of art they cost more than they are worth, wish they would just make up some 1 5/8-1 3/4" mild steel headers and sell them at a reasonable price, I'd buy the first set.

Kooks also makes them, and also quite pricey. I looked for some back when I still had the 330 in my car, slim pickins. Like I said in my previous post if they did not make them back when there were a lot more of these cars on the road, I doubt we will get them to make them now.

Best part is if you go to the website to actually buy them it still says, does not fit cutlass supreme. Lol

I believe the reason is because they have their 2012 catalog listed. The article was published in 10/13. I suppose if you call they will indicate that.

I agree Jag. With the development of technology I believe it could be lucrative. But that's just my opinion.

The article acts like they are treading into unknown territory They should have asked here and would have found a out a lot more!lol That dimple on the header pipe is pretty severe. Hooker headers fit much better. I have them on a my 67 442conv but it is a 4spd car so maybe there would be a little trouble with the automatic fluid lines and colum shift linkage.

X2. I saw that on the news stand and promptly put the magazine back. This is why I dropped my subscription to MCR many years ago.

I was thinking the same thing Joe. I guess if you have a big enough hammer you can accomplish anything!!!!
