bbk long tubes

[Gtnut1996]

i found a deal on some bbk long tubes. they would be going on a 302 with ported gt40p heads, crane springs, e cam, 1.7 rockers, edelbrock performer 5.0 intake. the problem is that they are 1 7/8 tubing and are supposely custom made to match up with ported victor jrs. how bad will it hurt my power over the smaller tubing? i plan on building my 351 next year but i want my stock headers gone for this year.

That would be such a waste of money.


1. WAAAY to big for a small block 302

2. They are designed for heads you don't even use.

Im not sure these would even work with p heads.i hear the gt40 p's use different headers than the regular gt40s bc of the spark plug position

i know my engine dont flow enough now but i am building a 351 with aluminum heads...
i know the regular bbk long tubes will clear p heads. i was going to check these first.
i think i am just going to sell the t5 world class i got and buy some new ones.

Are you planning on buying Victor series heads?

 

[Gtnut1996]

they have been in my top few choices. i am an edelbrock, and trick flow fan.

bolt pattern on the flange for the victor heads is more then likely different and they won't bolt up to your current heads. 1 7/8" are very large, and you don't need anything that big. hell my current motor is making close to 750 rwhp and i have 1 3/4" shorties. whats that tell you
