Need ground clearance for headers

[TBART70]

I need to lower the front of my car, but the headers hang too low. They are obviously for drag racing not lowered street car. It is a 1970 Camaro with a 548 Ci. BBC. I don't see any mid length with 2" or more primaries.

Do I modify my Hooker supercomps, or try and build my own? I cannot TIG only MIG. Trying to get my winter projects ready ahead of time.

Thanks as usual

Have you talked to Headman.Hooker.and Doug Thorley.etc for help.I have a 1979 Z-28 Camaro Z-28 RS Pro-Touring car. It has 3" of ground clearance at the front frame member .With a supercharged small block with a set of Doug Thorley "Big Tube" headers. It clears fine on the street. I have had over the years a 1973 Nova SS HB,1972 Chevelle wagon .And now have a 1981 El Camino SS.And have work on a variety of my friends Cars. Or do you have any friends who can weld as well. These are a number of options for you.Good luck.

These? https://www.hedman.com/Chevy-Camaro-...93&YearID=1970

I bashed my super comp headers about two days before I was going to take them off anyway.

Fun isn't it?!

Bashed the drivers side this time even after putting in heavier springs and raising up the front. I need to do something. Never got to it over the winter.

What cylinder heads are you running?

Edelbrock Performer RPM heads

I don’t know if it fits your project timeline, but a couple new sets of BB Chevy long tube headers for your application will be getting released from the Hooker Blackheart line.

Send me a set , I will test fit them for Hooker. 1970 BBC manual trans, manual clutch linkage, stock subframe.

2" Hooker supercomps fit perfect except for how low they hang down below the subframe. I am even thinking mid length if I have too.
Thanks for the info

I have to apologize, I just now realized that your car is a 2nd-gen F-body and the new headers I referenced are for 1st-gen F-bodies. The 2nd-gen application will eventually get the same new product development treatment, but I don't know when that is going to happen.

[TBART70]

Always the middle child.

Try getting parts for a B body sometime.

Any new info from Hooker?

Old thread but Lemmons headers have good ground clearance.

Any update?

Any update?

Very expensive custom headers is the way to go.

Build some yourself with oval collectors, lots of ground clearance.
