The Fabled $200 Stainless eBay SBO Headers...

Been doing a lot of research on long tube header options for my new-to-me 1970 Cutlass with a 350. I've seen a lot of threads mention these $200 stainless eBay longtubes that fit like a glove... Do these still exist? If so, can someone post an active link?

I don't think you will find stainless steal headers, for $200 any more.

I have these on my 70 Cutlass with an Olds 350. The passenger side fit perfectly. I had them hit the driver's side motor mount, they needed clearancing, not a big amount, welcome to full length headers. You need a very compact mini starter. They actually only hang slightly low on my car.

I put them on my 455 and they fit nicely. I have an auto on the column and had to tweak the linkage. Other than that I am very happy with them.

Looks great. However... two things. (1) I can't find any active links for them on eBay, and (2) I'm running a small block Olds.

Try in the eBay search: small block Oldsmobile/Olds or Oldsmobile headers. That should pop up any potential ads.

There is only one full length cheap stainless header that was sold. Mine were listed for 350 and 455. Others fit them without motor mount interference like mine. Actually one guy with a G body installed them and they fit better then my 70 A body, no mods what so ever.

Yes. However, as the ad states: Trans-Am. So, wouldn't that mean they are for the F body, NOT A body?

I would bet those being the same headers. Don't the gen 2 F body with the 403 use the same headers? They also say they don't fit a G body, I know one guy who used them and they fit really well.
