    Hey guys, thinking about swapping my SBF 331 for a BBF 460, wondering about fitment. I have seen guys have done the 460 swap and am wondering about headers. I have an AJE K member and shock towers and it is a manual steering car. Do any of the shelf headers work? Longtubes or block huggers? The plan is to build a 500 with afr heads, a pretty big cam and a c6 trans. Here are some pictures of my current setup with the SBF...by the way Hooker 6901 headers work great with an AJE K member and manual steering. Also a picture of the BBF I picked up last week, it's s 1978 truck motor. 20200608_124436.jpg

    I spied a thread on this here a few weeks ago and dug it up. Hope this helps you out.
