Hello everyone, my first post here. Doing a big block conversion on a 71' and was needing info on headers. The Hookers I tried to put on hit the steering box. So bad that I had to dent in 2 of the primary's almost an inch. Would like to run a cleaner setup and was hoping that someone would know of a steering box (I heard that a Vega box gave more clearance) or header (2" PRIMARY OR BETTER) that would work. Thanks for any help and looking forward to seeing more of your site.

Take care,
Bill

Welcome Bill.. I think flaming river sells a box for the Nova's... I personally run a rack in my car so that has not been a concern... I know a few other guys that visit this site may have more info so stay tuned...Anyway, welcome once again....

Hi Bill, Welcome aboard. What engine mounts are you using? If I remember right if you go with the taller mounts it will pick the motor up and give you some more clearence,

Perhaps you may have the wrong headers 68-74 novas and 67-69 camaro's use the same headers the gear box and steering linkage is behind the crossmember 75 and newer novas and 70 and newer camaros move the gear box/linkage in front of the crossmember .Welcome to the board and hope this helps

I know we still have the small block motor stands on the car. Didn't know there was a difference, so the info is well appreciated. I guess these mounts will relocate the motor so the headers will clear. Hoping they move it quite a bit.
Thanks and good to be on the board.
Bill
