If you're looking for the power of headers, a distinctive look and the dependability of cast iron, we have the hot setup for small-block Chevys: the Tru-Ram® exhaust manifold. We started with a clean slate and designed an exhaust manifold that will give you looks and performance never before available in cast iron.

Note: The exhaust port size is square and large enough for most round port heads. It measures 1.375" x 1.375" and should be sufficient for most small block cylinder heads. Variation in location of spark plugs on aftermarket heads makes it impossible to verify that the Tru-Ram® will fit all heads on the market, but it will clear most straight and angle plug heads.

The most universal shorty header just got better! Now made of durable stainless steel, these tight-fit headers feature a heavy duty 3/8" thick flange to minimize warpage with 1-5/8" diameter primary tubes and 2-1/2" diameter collectors. Block hugger headers are ideal for street rod engine swaps and can make tight installations easy. They tuck in close to the engine block to provide clearance for frame rails, steering boxes and motor mounts, but please see dimension chart to verify fit for your application.
The head flange features tall oval ports, so they will fit a variety of small block Chevy cylinder heads (EXCEPT angle plug heads). The collectors exit parallel with the oil pan rail to provide maximum ground clearance. Headers include gaskets, collector reducers with a 2" diameter outlet, and stainless steel installation hardware.

NOTE: Stainless header tubing  when exposed to exhaust temperature will cause the finish to change  color which will vary with the exhaust temperature. Please note that the  finish of the header when the engine is started, will change to a light  champagne color to a darker gold finish and in some instance may even  turn dark blue or purple. This can be polished back out when utilizing  Blue-away or Simi-chrome polish, but please note that when the headers  reach running temperature again, they will immediately change color.                                 
                                                    

						                        

							                        

                                                        
These "rams horn" cast iron manifolds were patterned off the 1962-63 327 Corvette but are not OEM remanufactured manifolds. They feature the big 2-1/2" diameter outlets and have provisions to accept original alternator type brackets. 
These headers are copies of the original headers on the 62-63 Corvettes  and can be used on almost any small block application. The cast in  brackets are for the water tank on the drivers side and generator  bracket on the passenger side. These can be cut off and smoothed per  customers preference. These are a square port configuration with 1-5/8” top to bottom  and also side to side. Compare to your head port size for compatibility.
