This header is available in any tube size up to 2” with a 3 ½” collector. All of our headers are hand made so we can make them for any engine deck height and for any aftermarket cylinder head. All of the tubes are inside the frame and the header has excellent ground clearance.

What Fits:

We used a Milodon oil pan #30900 to design with and the bottom of the header was ½” higher than the bottom of the oil pan. The available room for an oil pan kick out sump is 3” on the passenger side and 4” on the driver side, measuring from the side of a stock oil pan. The oil filter was easily removed even with the 1 ½” kick out on the Milodon pan.

The steering column must be installed per the chassis builders instructions for clearance with the header. Our design fits side motor mounts or motor plates, but the engine must stay in the stock position per SRG specs. It has good spark plug room, some spark plugs can be easily removed with a socket and an extension some will require a socket and end wrench.

This header will fit a power brake booster and clutch linkage with the Z bar over the filter, but will not fit column shifter linkage. It requires a mini starter, Hitachi or Nippondenso style, a full sized GM starter will not fit. If a Lakewood style scatter shield is used you will have to slightly trim the outer edge, below the starter area.

We offer Power Master #9540 starters.

Installing the Headers: 

Driver side: remove the spark plugs, oil filter and the center section of the steering column between the “U” joints. You do not have to raise the engine, the header will install from the bottom.

Passenger side: remove the spark plugs and starter. You do not have to raise the engine, the header will install from either the top or the bottom. Before bolting the header in place reinstall the starter.

The post #SBPT-202 – ‘55-’57 CHEVY SMALL BLOCK – SB Pro Tour header for Street Rod Garage chassis (Chris Sutton) appeared first on Lemons Headers.

What Fits:
This header has excellent ground clearance. The bottom of the header is higher than the bottom of the oil pan. It is also made for oil pans with sump kick outs. On the passenger side we have 3 ½” of room and on the driver side we have 1 ½” of room at the pan rail and 4” of room at the bottom of the pan for sump kick outs.
This header has good room around straight or angled spark plugs. It requires a mini starter, either a Hitachi or Nippondenso style, but will not fit a full size GM starter.
It is designed for mechanical clutch linkage and a Lakewood style scatter shield as well as any automatic transmission.
We offer Power Master #9540 starters.
It is designed for side motor mounts, but not for a mid plate. It fits a power brake booster, but will not fit column shifter linkage, only floor shifters.

IMPORTANT: There are many aftermarket motor mounts available for these chassis which position the engine forward from the stock location. In our fabricating jigs we can compensate for these positions. Because the steering box clearance is so tight we must have accurate information from the customer as to the motors location. Ask our sales person for information about finding these measurements.

Header Installation:
Passenger side: With the starter out install the header from the bottom. The starter can be installed with the header in place.

Driver side: Our design car had a stock oil pan on it and with all clutch linkage out, the oil filter and spark plugs out. We were able to install the header from the bottom with out raising the engine.
