headers for 403cid?

Hello!

I have buick electra 79 ( sorry no olds ) which have 403 engine.

Does someone know what headers will fit? Somebody with cutlass and 403 engine welded header pipes diffrent position because start and body was front of pipes.


sorry my bad language! I know that summit etc have many headers but i wanna just ask what fits without welding!

thanks for your answers!

The problem with the B/C body cars is that there is a bolt-on chassis brace on both sides behind the lower control arms that get in the way of headers. Some people have removed the braces. I don't recommend it.

The Hedmans will fit, but you must remove frame braces. It looks like yours may have already been removed.
Also, you may have trouble with the column shift linkage. I have a floor shifter.

Yes, I see those.
They look different on all of my cars. They connect to the frame in 3 places, not just 2.

You will be spanked for using foul language here in short order.
Ask me how I know.

Sweet frame J, but you'll want to turn it over.
