Does anyone make these for the X frame cars in the sb, bb, and 348-409 ?
Very hard item's to find.

Mine that I have in my 60 with a BBC are from a 62-63 Nova. The passenger side fit easily but I had to modify the back to tubes on the drivers side to go up higher to clear the steering. They go up and over the frame and tuck down pretty good for 2" tubes and 3 1/2" outlet. AND BOY DOES SHE MAKE SOME LOVELY NOISE :beerbang
I did wrap the two tubes with heat wrap since they come pretty close to the master cyclinder.
I was trying to find a set of 409 under the frame headers for awhile and just cut the flange off and redo it with a BBC flange but no luck finding a set within budget.
I was looking at clipster and block hugger types as well but I have never seen a 60 with fenderwell headers soooooo :brow

As soon as I unpack and make my way out there if it stops raining. Been in Chicago for a week and just got back.
The back two tubes a VERY radicaly cut and almost go straight upfor 3-4" then bend over the steering bar and down.
