Close fit, but neat man. I've been planning on a set of Saunders-shorties. You should do it!

I have been working a bunch of other projects , including nascar stuff . finished the drivers sde . a little trickyer. I may start to make them , account how well they fit. The welding will better looking and just the y block flange ,

I just found this thread on a Google search. I like the alternative to rams horn exhaust. I located a set of plain steel sbc block hugger headers at Speedway for $65 and a Y-block header flange on ebay for $45. Makes a cheap fix for my '55 F100 with Toyota power steering box. Thanks for posting this project.

Just getting into the site...  I was staring at a pair of sbc block huggers and a set of y-block header flanges the other day, and thought the exact same thing.  Funny how after logging in for 5 minutes, I see this post.  Gonna start on them tomorrow for my 53 coupe.  I was hoping to find an alternative to ramhorns...

Yes, I love doing this stuff. Just think it up, and build it. The early years was hold in place and weld it. If anyone is working on this project ( SBC headers) ,call me, if I can help, I will . 931-739-0152

dave, bobwana is right on target. taking something from a scrap pile and making it into something really neat. old school engineering at its zenith. i think it looks great, cant wait to see the other side

Dave  What you have done here is what hot rodding, especially in the early years was all about.  Taking something you liked or needed and modified to fit.   I also have a 55 Bird and will follow your thread to see if I could do this on mine ... when I get it running again.  Bob

I would hate to  do a set for you and have the cheap chrome job fail in a year or 2.
