These swap Headers allow enthusiasts to drop an LS (all exc. LS7) engine into the ever popular 1955–1957 Chevy. These new Headers were designed to fit with a stock gear box or Saginaw 605 gear box. They are a true 1 ¾” long tube design to sufficiently maximize the torque and horsepower of the free breathing LS engines.
 
They are available in high temp black paint, silver ceramic or Hooker's brand new “Darkside” black ceramic.

Features

• True long-tube design to maximize performance potential of engine
• Thick plate steel flanges provide leak-proof seal at cylinder heads
• Designed to fit with all stock or Saginaw 605 steering set-ups
• Designed to be compatible with other popular aftermarket components for this application

"Darkside" Black Additional Features

• Formulated to withstand extreme temperatures (stability rating is 1700° F) without discoloration and maintains excellent adhesion even after repeated thermal cycling
• Provides a higher heat tolerance threshold than available from silver ceramics and is therefore recommended for any applications producing elevated exhaust gas temperatures, such as when using superchargers and/or nitrous oxide systems
• High-efficiency thermal properties limit heat migration through the header assembly, which in turn lowers under-hood temperatures for more performance
• Increased corrosion protection ensures long service life and maintained appearance of investment
• Provides unique styling enhancement that is equally pleasing in either a nostalgic retro application or a modern hi-tech build. As this coating is not burnished after its application, the surface appearance is more consistent than that of a silver ceramic coated header. Be different and go black!
