Small block headers.

I am considering putting headers on my '67 Cutlass with 330 engine.
Does anyone besides Kooks make a decent set?
Thank you for any help offered.

If the heads are the same as a 350-403, hooker makes a set. I know they make good parts.

Love my DynoMax ceramic coated ones. Over 7 years old and still look fresh!

Small block headers.

Funny thing, T-Red.
I called Jegs' today. They sell Dynomax headers, but said there are none made by Dynomax for a '67 Cutlass with a small block.
But, thanks for your help...........

^^ Try Summit.

If you can buy headers for a 307, you can get them for a 330 no problem

Thank you for your input, Redog.
I believe the problem is not so much that the headers won't fit the engine; as it is they won't fit the chassis.
From everything I have learned so far, it seems that Kooks are the only headers that will fit without "hammer-tuning". Trouble is: Kooks are very pricey.

^ Yeah I ran into that problem with putting headers on the Delta with the 307. I figured since they'd fit the motor, it's wouldn't be a problem.

Cost me almost as much as the headers cost to ship them back to Summit

You know headers sometimes aren't worth what you have to put in them compared to what you get back.My opinon.I have had really good performing engines with stock manifolds.There are tricks to them alsoorting,smoothing coating.Look for some dyno numbers and see if it is worth it before you spend a fortune.

headers

ive just bought my dynaflow headers and have read the full instruction sheet. as far as i can see i should have no problems. will i have to lift the motor or lift each side as they slide in? i no they are made for the 350 motor but im wondering about any mods i might have to do. someone told me i should get new motor mounts since ill need to lift it anyway.
any experiences on a 71-72 would be great

thanks

The problem is that the 64-67 frames are slightly narrower than the 68-72 frames. The 350 headers obviously bolt to the 330, but they may require a little "customizing" to clear the frame.

my headers went into my 69 by removing the starter and the oil filter bracket and copious amounts of beer to lubricate...
