BBR-566 – ‘55-’57 CHEVY BIG BLOCK – FENDERWELL HEADER https://lemonsheaders.com/product/bbr-566-55-57-chevy-big-block-fenderwell-header/ Mon, 23 Jan 2023 21:16:23 +0000 https://lemonsheaders.com/?post_type=product&p=1561 HEADER SPECS:
We can build UP TO a 2 ¼” primary size with up to a 4” collector.
There are several aftermarket motor mounts available for the ’55-’57 cars. Most of them locate the engine in different positions. This header was designed with the engine in the stock position.
We depend on the customer for good measurements and information.
We can compensate for the engine being moved UP TO 1 ¼” forward from the stock position.
The header in our photos, of a beautiful black “55 owned by Dave Ferrante of Wyoming has his engine set 2 ½” forward from stock and we couldn’t compensate for that distance, but his car sets high so it didn’t matter.

#SBR-141 – ’68-’72 CHEVELLE SMALL BLOCK – RACE HEADER- STOCK CHASSIS https://lemonsheaders.com/product/sbr-141-68-72-chevelle-small-block-race-header-stock-chassis/ Mon, 09 Jan 2023 22:22:24 +0000 https://lemonsheaders.com/?post_type=product&p=1540 Header Specs:
This header is designed for any tube size up to 2 ¼” with any collector size up to 4” or our collector muffler up to a 5” size. The two center tubes on each side go around the frame. The engine MUST to stay in the stock location.

What Fits:
The header will fit with side motor mounts or motor plates. This header was designed with a Power Master #9540 or #9500 or a CVR #5323Nippondenso style starter and will not fit with a full size GM stock starter or Hitachi style mini starter.
We offer Power Master #9540 starters.
It has excellent oil pan room. Measuring from the side of a stock oil pan it has 4 ¾” of room on the passenger side and 5” of room on the driver side. Ground clearance is also excellent, with a Milodon 7 quart oil pan and the largest tube size (2 ¼”) the header was ¼” below the bottom of the pan, smaller tube sizes will gain ground clearance. Spark plug room is very good with angle plug heads, straight plugs are tighter. This header is designed for skinny drag racing type tires, but may fit up to a 7” with tire depending on the wheel offset. It has good room for aftermarket “A” arms.
This header is made for stock type clutch linkage, but will NOT fit column shifter linkage, power brake booster or factory air conditioning.
Note: Brake lines may have to be rerouted for clearance. If you are going to keep the inner fender wells they will have to be notched for header clearance.
If more room is needed for our race collector mufflers or a large exhaust system we offer a chrome moly transmission cross member.

Installation:
Installing these headers is very easy as they are individual tubes. On both sides install the front tube first, then the back tube, then the center pair (these are the tubes that go around the frame). Now install the collector. There are mounting tabs on the collectors and on the primary tubes to secure the collectors. On the driver side one tab on the collector and one tab on the primary tube have an “L” stamped on them and must line up with each other when installed. The passenger side tabs have an “R” stamped on them. Only snug the header bolts, until the collector has been installed, then go back and tighten the header bolts.

Refer to our (Header Installation Tips) page for additional information.

This header is available in 1 ¾”, 1 7/8”, 2”, 2 1/8” or 2 ¼” primary sizes.
Or we can build it as a step header in any combination you need.
Collectors can be 3”, 3 ½” or 4” depending on primary size, also, collector mufflers in up to 5” diameter.
This header has the 2 center tubes on each side going around the frame, so it is intended for drag type skinny front tires. May fit up to a 7” tire depending on wheel offset.
This header has good room for aftermarket A arms.

The engine must stay in the stock position either on solid side motor mounts or motor plates. Side mounts are Moroso #62630 frame mounts and Moroso #62515 engine mounts.
This header requires a Power Master #9540 or #9500 Nippondenso type starter, or #9526 for staggered mount. A stock starter or Hitachi type starter will not fit.

Measuring from the side of a stock oil pan we have 3 ¼” of room on the passenger side and 4 ¾” of room on the driver side for sump kick outs.
Spark plugs have good room, there is more room with angled spark plugs.
Oil filter has good access. With some kick out pans you may have to slide filter forward to get past sump.

This header will fit a power brake booster and clutch linkage, but will not fit a factory air conditioning box on the firewall or column shifter linkage.

#BBR-511 – ‘70-’81 CAMARO BIG BLOCK – ‘75-’79 NOVA BIG BLOCK – BB RACE HEADER SMITH RACE CRAFT FRONT CLIP https://lemonsheaders.com/product/bbr-511-lemons-headers-inc-70-81-camaro-75-79-nova-bb-race-header-smith-race-c5raft-front-clip/ Wed, 04 Jan 2023 18:45:40 +0000 https://lemonsheaders.com/?post_type=product&p=1511 Header Specs:
This header was designed for any tube size UP TO 2 ½” primary size with any collector size UP TO 5” or collector muffler size UP TO 6”.
It has one tube on each side that go’s around the frame.
It is made as all single tubes, each tube has its own flange so you just install one tube at a time and then the collector slips onto the primary tubes and bolts in place.

What Fits?
On each side of a stock oil pan we have 4 ¼” of room on the passenger side for oil pan sump kick outs and 3 ½” of room on the driver side.
The engine must be mounted on Smith Race Craft Motor plates.
Almost any mini starter will fit, but I’m not sure about the Mezier 400 series starter.
With no oil pan sump kick outs the oil filter is very easy to remove and install. With a kick out sumps you may be able to slide the filter forward to get it out.
At the back of the collectors the clearance from the car floorboard is ¾”.
This header is intended for Drag type skinny front tires.
Evacuation tubes and oxygen sensor bungs will be facing outward in the collector.

Installation.
Before starting the installation of your new headers, please read the yellow installation tips page. It will help the process go smother and save you a lot of time.
On the driver side install tubes from front to back 1-3-5-7-
On the passenger side install #2 and #4 tubes together, then #6 and #8.

This header is designed for two wheel drive pick up’s only. All tubes are inside the frame. It can be made for any deck height and any cylinder head, in any tube size UP
TO 2 ¼” primaries with up to a 4” collector.

What Fits

Spark plug room is good, but #5 is difficult to reach. A mini starter is required. Measuring from the side of a stock oil pan we have 3 ½” of room from the oil pan on the passenger side and 2 ¾” of room on the driver side for oil pan kick out sumps This header is designed for stock motor mounts or motor plates as long as the engine stays in the stock position. This header does not fit a 1 ton chassis. It will touch the inside of the “C” shaped frame.
If you want to use them on a 1 ton truck you can slightly trim the frame (ask Dan for more info).
This header needs a mini starter. It fits factory air conditioning and power brake booster.. It does not fit factory clutch linkage. It does not fit factory column shifter linkage, but Lokar Performance Products makes a replacement linkage that bypasses the original factory linkage under the floor. It goes directly from the lever on the column to the transmission lever. They also make a cable system for the column shifter.

Installing Headers: Pro-Tour style:

The engine will have to be raised on each side for installation.

Installing Headers: Race Style:

Race style is individual tubes and slip on collectors.
Install one tube at a time starting from front to back. Only snug header bolts, do not tighten them.
Then install slip on collectors and bolt in place.
Then go back and tighten all header bolts.

Be sure to read our Yellow (Header Installation Tips) page before installing the headers. It will make installing the headers easier and save you time.
