Question
I have a 83 cj7 with a chevy 350 & 5 speed trany. Right now it has stubby headers and I wish to put long tube fenderwell headers but cannot find a company that builds them in the right configuration. Will I have to build them myself, or can you give me the name of a company that will build them.
Hi Jason.
There are almost always custom hot-rod shops available , and certainly there should be some in your area.
If you call around to muffler shops you might find someone, and ceertainly if you contact a couple of the pro race shops , you should find someone.
What you're looking for is a long tube header to fit a one-off engine swap - - -only by the slightest chance would you find a set that would fit well. And a good custom builder will craft a set that will look neat, and cnoserve as much horsepower as possible,
Goog luck !
