Mat , I believe Performance Welding ( Mark Lelchook ) makes a set for your application ; as you are probably aware , many premium header companys want your car and do not offer ready made pieces so they are worth exploring.

Calvin Elston @ Elston Headers picked our car up .13 with just a bolt on (255/350 ). On our bbc it was 15 Hp and 13 ft-lbs avg over Arnold Greene's headers.

We put the SBC headers on for a heads up run knowing we were out powered, but had nothing to lose. Won the rnd over a car that had us by .3. The other competitor now has a set of Calvin's headers. On the bbc headers... Arnold bought two sets one 427 and one 396.

Those elston looks nice

Re: Sbc 350/255 stocker headers
 

Matt, how much of "looking nice" equates to fast..... spend your money wisely and do it right the first time my friend.

Joe ,
I do not make it a habit of calling someone out. Have you seen the list of Calvin's customers?

Bill, I have a set of Elston headers on my car since 2009 and very happy with the performance and workmanship. Matt knows what I have and it was my way of encouraging him to get a set. Matt and I talk weekly about performance but I can't speak for him.

Re: Sbc 350/255 stocker headers
 

Joe,
My humble apologies. It sounded as if you were calling Calvin's work a "show" piece, not a "go" piece.

Once again, I apologize.

Bill

Re: Sbc 350/255 stocker headers
 

Bill, no problem. I re-read my post and it could read that way. Sometimes we do things 2 and 3 times before we spend the extra money to get it right. Lots of experienced racers have helped me do it right the "next time" and I try to do the same for guys who are trying to improve.

On the funny side Elston headers not only work but the workmanship is incredible (Look Nice, lol)

Re: Sbc 350/255 stocker headers
 

Joe, I spoke to Calvin last year, plan on having him build me headers over the winter. How long did he have your car?

Re: Sbc 350/255 stocker headers
 

I was one of the lucky ones, he never needed my car. I guess he had a jig for the 69-72 Nova and just sent them to me when he was done. I know others who had to bring the car, mine fit perfectly, no muss no fuss.

Re: Sbc 350/255 stocker headers
 

nice, no such luck for me.

Re: Sbc 350/255 stocker headers
 

Joe you are right lol

Sometimes my english suffer because im french :p

Thanks for your help
