Whats up guys, i have a 85 cutlass supreme and put a 350sbc in it. I order some long tube headers i thought would fit but they were rubbing against my lower control arm. Do anyone kno a good set of long tube headers that will fit down without rubbing?

Stop! Hammer time!

There is no excuse for 1 5/8" tube headers rubbing anything on a G-body, but 2" tube headers might need dimpling near the LCA's.

I tried the hammer time, i damn near closed one port of the header off and it still wasnt fitting. Im going to order more headers, i was just trying to find some that will fit with less beating on them

Fwiw, I ran hooker #2451 on my sbc in my 87 Cutlass for years. I had to barely ding one of the passenger side primary tubes to clear.

I switched over to a set of hedman mid length headers #68600 and they fit like a glove! Btw, they are for sell since I'm LS swapping my car and can't use them anymore.

Pm me if interested and I will send some pics.They have maybe 5 hours of runtime total on them. I had them ceramic coated, but cooked the first bends on the primaries due to a fuel supply issue, but they are in "like new" condition.
