Any good 1 & 3/4 longtubes for our cars?

[five0joe]

Have been looking for longtubes, and all I seem to find are 1 & 5/8 size. Putting the 347 out of my 93 notch in the 95 and was wondering if there are any decent 1 & 3/4 primaries for it. Don't want to spend 900 on a set either, just a decent set under 5 for sure. Thanks for any help. Joe

both are good but I would do the BBK first, because of the solid flange.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Have had a couple different bbk sets, equals/shorties, etc. on different foxes over the years, always fit good, with no leaks as long as quality gaskets were used and not the cheap ones that come with the headers. The ones they send with em get brittle and crack, have actually seen chunks of em fall out with low mileage. With quality gaskets though have always had good luck with bbk's. Thanks again man, Joe

Mie are MACs with individual flanges and they have sprung. Takes a little pushing and prying to get them on.

I tried installing BBK 1 3/4" headers for a fox body on my car and they DID NOT FIT, not even close. Now I have MAC 1 3/4" for 94/95 on my car and they fit like a glove, only problem was getting the dipstick to work.

 

[five0joe]

Cool, thanks for the heads up on the bbk/fox ones. Guess I will give the Mac's a shot. Thanks, Joe

I have MAC 1 5/8's, no problems.

just be prepared to lift the engine up to install the pass side one, i unbolted my motor mount too for clearance.

I too run 1-3/4" mac LT's. Since I have a tube K... mine went in like an irish cock in a Tijuana whore.

 

[five0joe]

Haha, that bad huh. Not looking forward to expanding my cuss word vocabulary, but if I am going to wrestle any headers in, def. want the added power of a full length. Thanks for all the help. Joe

You have 1 3/4" on your car now?? Those are huge for a 302

No, but not going on a 302. 347/Canfield 195 combo. Not as concerned with primary size as I am with collector. Wanting 3", thanks for the help, Joe

 

[mikey94gt]

Sweet, I may be looking into these headers too, as I'm prolly going forced induction too.......

Should be fun...Canfield makes some bad ass heads. :icon_rr:

Who are you thanking, and why? :huh:

 

[OnyxCobra]

Thanking Keith, you spoke assuming the headers were too large for my car when it doesn't seem like you knew my setup.
