Who all here owns one? I have a 72 Grabber with a 70 351 C in it. It currently has the stock maniflolds, but I plan to upgrade to Headers here soon. I originally had the Cleveland in without chopping the towers, but I later cut them to have better access to the plugs and wires.
Thanks for the welcome guys! I have been toying with the idea of making a 383 out of mine. I'd like to stoke it without boring the cylinders cause they are the stock 4.000 bore. I have enough to build 2 more Clevelands, so there's some options on the table right now. Ideally I'd like to find a set of Aussie heads, or another set of 4V Closed Chamber heads. Do any of you know where there's any at? I've been shying from ebay for that stuff.
Hi, there how are you, i am new i just got in the forum i am installing a 351windsor,engine, i have problems with the headers can any body suggest anything with out touching the shock towers. regards Gino
Wow, I know it's tight even for a Windsor, but I think you might have better results if you cut your towers back a little bit. You might be able to mod some 302 headers to fit?
Hi there was somebody who mentioned some agent by the name Tubular automotive who has headers that fit the 351 w but i have no email of this company, can you help please?
Crites is the header of choice it seems for 351w. There are a set of Tubulars (same company that makes the 351c headers) that fit, but they are costly for what you get. The tubes are only 1.5", which is smaller than the 'gold standard' 302 header tubes. They cost as much or more than the Crites, while the Crites have fair sized tubes at 1.75". Hooker has a 65-66 Stang 351w swap header with the same tube size. This header can be made to fit our cars either with mods to the tubes, or preferably mods to the engine bay. If you click the word "Images", below my screen name/avatar, there are pics in there I saved of another member's install of the Hookers. The black tape shows areas on the headers that have interference, then the engine bay pics show the mods he did to clearance them. Good luck Dave
Oh, Btw, Tubular Automotive hasn't arrived in the digital age yet. You gotta get their land line number and call them. They are in Weyland Mass.
hi,Dave how are you ok thanks for your co operation. i saw those images, but they need work and even the car has to be modified so what about the Crites as they are 1.75" the engine will work ok right.This name Crites is the company name or the header model, if so can you please send me there email or address.Regards Gino
http://www.critesrestoration.com/ If you want these headers, you better do it quick. They discontinued them not long ago, then several guys here talked them into doing one last run of headers for a group purchase.
