You are bidding on a Set of Brand New Southwest Speed Ceramic Hot Coated Block Hugger Shorty Headers for Small Block Chevy 262-400ci Engines (SWS Part #440-2053).

This Pair of Southwest Speed Block Hugger Shorty Headers are great for close or tight-fit applications. They will work for installing Small Block Chevrolet Engines in many different applications and are great for engine swaps, where a specifically designed header is not available. Features 1 5/8" tubes with 2 1/2" collectors, complete with header bolts & gaskets and reducer bolts & gaskets. These headers are Ground parallel with .350" flanges on the cylinder head surface. Included is a pair of 2 1/2" to 2 1/4" reducers to complete the installation. Designed primarily for engines with front mounts. In many instances, these headers will fit and function perfectly with side mounts and under engine cross members.

Note: WILL NOT FIT ANGLE PLUG HEADS. Refer to measurement chart below to insure headers will fit your vehicle and application.

Features:

  • Great for street rods

Exclusions:

  • Won't fit '55-'57 Chevy cars, Camaro’s, or other modern vehicles which have a cross member below the engine's center two exhaust ports.
  • Won't clear a "clam shell" style motor mount (found on 1973-newer Chevy cars & trucks)
  • Tight fit will requires small spark plug wire boots and won't allow all spark plugs to be removed with standard spark plug sockets, some spark plugs will require an offset box end wrench for service.
  • We recommend Accel Shorty Spark Plugs, if you are using large spark plug wire boots.
  • The Accel Shorty Spark Plugs make this a much nicer installation and eliminate a lot of minor problems.

Ceramic Hot Coating Warning:

CHC coatings will burn and be damaged at exhaust temperatures over 1300 degrees. A lean fuel mixture can generate exhaust temperatures exceeding 1700-1900 degrees. If the coating is damaged due to a lean condition, the coating will not be warranted, but can be recoated for a fee. No warranty or returns on Ceramic Hot Coated exhaust items once they have been installed.

Header Return Policy:

Please refer to the header measurement chart below to make sure the header will fit your vehicle and application before ordering. In the event you order a header that will not fit your vehicle and application, you may return them for a refund, providing you don't damage the header. When you receive the header, the finish will be protected and must remain unscratched for a refund. If you bend or dimple any of the tubes or scratch the finish, we will not be able to sell the header and will not be able to process a refund. Use care when trial fitting headers. Repack them well to prevent damage returning them to us. We won't process refunds for scratched, dimpled, dented, or bent headers.
