SB Chevy 180 degree headers, Does anybody make them? Options

[dkjens]

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?

For a broader search, understand that many NASCAR cars run 180s, hence why they all run over to the right and collect on the right (a Late Model for instance has engine in the front, no passenger seat, that is where we route all the exhaust and exit out the right side).

So you can look for anyone making headers for circle track guys and find plenty of 180 offerings. Schoenfeld is both fine and cheap. I have his Sprint car headers on my car (not 180s).

If you want a centered coupling and outlet like a GT-40, that's gonna be custom. I am considering building myself a set if I turbo my car (will 180 into one big inlet for the turbo) then center exit a 4" single pipe.
