Anybody know of off the shelf headers for BBC? I am concerned with using 2" primaries and the 3 1/2 collectors on the 2241 hooker super comps. I have a 555ci motor.
2 1/8 headers for BBC

Hooker makes/made a set that come in peices/partailly assembled. They are like that so they slip in without problems with clearance. Don't remember what the p/n is but I saw them in the Jegs or the Summit catalog.
heres a place that may already have the headers your looking for, i am also trying to find some BB G body headers but mines a mild '54 so i am just looking for a cheap set of used off the shelf ones.
these are a little pricy but they are definately capable of flowing close to what you need. good luck.

I found the part # for the hooker headers. its 2241 Super Comp. Headers, fits 1978-1987 Chevelle/Monte Carlo w/396-454 V8. The book I got doesn't say what size the primarys are but if you look on the holley website you will probaly find out.
i think we need a little more information either way about what you need, i am under the assumption that you are looking for BIGGER tubes than the hookers. i cant see why you would want 2" primary tubes on a 555ci motor, it is the equivalent of a 2bbl adapter on a 4bbl intake. unless you like torque and/or dont want to spend the outrageous amount on custom headers. i would think you need 2 1/8", 2 1/4" maybe even a little bigger.
heres the specs on the hooker super comp engine swap headers.

Actually I got a pair of Stahl headers. They are 2 1/8 stepped to 2 1/4 with a 4" collector. I picked them up coated for under a grand!
