Who uses 65-67 Beaumont/Chevelle Big Block headers

Paulish · Guru

I'm not sure if Headman Elites are diffrent from regular Headmans but from what ive heard the Elites are about the best fitting header for these years of Chvelle/Beaumont.

All headers for these cars seem to hang low...But if their hitting the ground maybe it's front springs you need? I had the same problem a few years ago and it was spring fatigue not the headers. [Your sure there big block springs?]

O and DONT buy flowtech headers...lol. I found that out the hard way. Had to cut one inch out of a tube, rebend it and weld it.

If you decide to try springs first pm me. I have some hardly used ones.

Ive changed springs last year already from BB chevelle wagon to buick sportwagon w/air ,and it finally came up a bit. But they still rub once in a while on these crappy roads(winnipeg)My yubes are squashed, I really want to find some shortey headers, but havnt found any for the application.Maybe Ill phone hedman and see the height measurements.Ive heard the hookers are the lowest hanging,but thanks.

I have hedmans on my 65 but I have AFR raised exhaust port heads. My headers are tucked up very tight underneath. I actually had to modify the tranny crossmember for more clearance for the pipes.

I will have to check but I don't think they were the Elites. 2" tubes with 3" collector uncoated
