I'm working away on my '73 914 with a 283 SB Chevy. A friend of mine is building a replica GT40 from a 914, so I've been seeing quite a bit of GT40 youtube video. I am getting closer and closer to also just go ahead and "open up" the trunk floor and make the whole engine/tranny compartment open. If I do that, I would love to install a set og 180 degree headers on a Chevy, much like on the GT40. Not only is the sound fantasitc, but the scavenging and breathing advantages are great.
So, does anybody have any leads to anybody who may make or have made headers like this, I'd love to investigate further, or is it a project I'll have to take up myself? |

Jim Kelly,
I know I can easily make a 500HP SB Chevy, but the headers have benefits and they make your car sound so much better. Jerry, Just looked there, and they do not have 180 degree headers on the Lola. Troy, The Howe headers look interesting, I'll contact them and see if I can get more photos and diagrams and...............price. Andys, I'll do a search and see what I can find Schoenfeld 180 degree headers, thanks. - Just looked at Schoenfeld hey, these 180s are very affordable, do you know which model Terry Stewart used and (I assume) it was in a 914. None of the headers are the regular "bundle of snakes" as I'm really looking for. I just got a lead on a Chevy 302 crank at a decent price. If I get that, I'll pick up a 400SB block and make a 327 3" stroke 4-1/8" bore SB Chevy, radical cam, good compression, good rods and pistons, aluminum heads, and she should be good for 500HP and 8,000 rpm, and a hoot to drive. Also got a lead on an LS-1 complete with computer for around $3,000, what do you think? |
