Center Dump headers
Looking at a set of center dump shorty headers. Has anyone been able to make these work on an A body car.? The headers would be going on a SBO 350.

No. They will point directly at the crossmember. Center dump headers are designed for early frames that don't have the crossmember under the engine.

Fair enough. The overall height of these particular shorties in 7". I wasn't sure if that would still give enough room to get a collector installed and pipes bent to meet it.
