Hugger Exhaust Headers Straight Plug Style for SBC 265 283 305 327 350 383 400 V8

These "Block Hugger" headers are designed for 1955-up Small Block Chevy 265 283 305 327 350 383 400 V8 engines, with the exception of a few specific model years. They are meant to be used in tight spaces where longer tube headers are not feasible due to steering and cross-member clearance issues. The tubing has been optimized for 5.0L (305ci), 5.3L (327ci), 5.7L (350ci), and 6.6L (400ci) engines.

The headers feature a 3-bolt mounting style and come complete with bolts, gaskets, and a pair of reducers for easy installation. They are designed for use with straight-plug cylinder heads, but may encounter interference problems if used with angle-plug heads.

Constructed from steel, these headers have a polished finish. The inlet size is 1 1/2" and the outlet size is 2 1/2", with a head flange thickness of 3/8" (9.5mm) and a pipe thickness of 16 gauge (1.5mm). The flanges are TIG welded and CNC machined for a precise fit.

Professional installation is highly recommended, as installation instructions are not included. All items shown in the picture are included with the purchase.

In summary, these "Block Hugger" headers offer a solution for 1955-up Small Block Chevy V8 engines where space is limited. They provide optimized tubing for a range of engine sizes and feature a 3-bolt mounting style, making them easy to install with the included hardware. However, compatibility issues may arise with angle-plug cylinder heads, so careful consideration is advised before purchasing.
