Are those chromed Sandersons?
Free power mods means things that will not ruin fuel economy and/or driveability but will make the vehicle accelerate at a faster rate.BOODER said:Ape Man-- What Do You Mean By "free Power Mods" ? What Brand ? Thanks, Booder
You're supposed to get the BBC headers for whatever body your Caddy engine is in and use the Caddy flanges. For RWD Cadillacs Hooker #2455 BBC monte carlo headers are what *should* work, although the primaries are huge on the 2455. The ones in the auction listed above will do better since the primaries are 1.75" but whether or not they'll fit is the question. Somebody try 'em out. MTS also has Deville headers but they're like $300+.Sasquatch said:I've seen posts here where it is said that you can use headers for a Monte Carlo and weld on the Cadillac flanges. Is this true? Something like these?

Shawn Gilbert (kwikcad500 on one of the other boards) is running a set of modified Chevy headers in his Deville but I'm not sure which headers he used.Sasquatch said:Is anybody running any headers? Ape? Any suggestions? Cad Company offers a couple of custom options ranging from $495.00 to $899.00 depending on what you want. Has anyone actually done the BBC swap? I would like to drop off the headers and the car and have the local shop install along with duals. Ape did you click on the second link and check out those headers?
Yup I looked. No headers here. The engine swap is ready to go whenever I get a few days and the exhaust will probably not get modified yet. I have an entire exhaust which will fit anyway and that gives me a good excuse to swap another drum to drum in there too. I'm still waiting someone else out who has actually installed a set of BBC Monte Carlo headers using the Cad flanges. I really want to see if these headers have any bad manners as installed like ruining ground clearance or collectors pointing somewhere that makes it inpossible to finish the exhaust for the street properly. Headers can sometimes be real junk. No way am I paying any more than a couple hundred bux for a pair of BBC headers either. I can always stalk Ebay for someone who has run out of inspiration.Sasquatch said:Is anybody running any headers? Ape? Any suggestions?
