324 Olds block hugger

Anybody use block hugger headers for a 324 Olds from Noxious Customs? I want to know if they will fit under the hood in a '32 Ford. Thanks kids, NoChop

 

Are you talking about the ones they were also selling on ebay?
While I'm not sure on the '32 question, just be aware, that you can't use the stock oil filter location with it.

 

Yup I saw that , I want to run a hood on my coupe. Just wondering if anybody has used these or seen any on a 32 with a hood be for I pull the trigger

 

Going once.....

 

I've got SaltFlatMatt (http://www.lakeheaders.com) custom building me a set to fit between the rails of a '34 frame. I know there are one or two other guys interested in them, and Matt will be keeping the jig once mine are done.

Should hopefully have pictures of them by the end of the month...

 

AJ, I might be interested in a set of those too. Depending on oil filter and starter clearance.

 

Hey Martin. I had a bunch of talks with Matt on these. I basically wanted to simulate the drivers side stock manifold in the the way that it collects from the middle and rear port and dumps straight down between the middle and front port. Both sides should be the same.
On my Olds, I have a starter changeover, so the oil filter will be going on the firewall. However, they still have to clear the starter on the passenger side, so they should clear the starter and oil filter in stock location with no problem based on design.

Once I get them (hopefully early July), I can slap them on and give you some exact clearance measurements with regards to starter and oil filter.

 

That would be great, AJ!
And maybe send me a PM with pricing... or better not

 

haha, I don't even have a final price yet. Ballpark, but as this is the first set, custom made for me, I expect it to be a bit more...

 

I made my own headers for my 371" Olds in my 34' coupe. Got a kit from Tubular Automotive in Rockland, Mass. 781 878 9875.

 

Thanks keep me in the loop as well, cheers , nc

 

I'm lacking in the talent dept.

Sounds like they might work in the stock chassis. What do you think? Looking for a set for our '55 is why I'm asking.

They should... I know Matt took the measurements off a stock motor and they'll hug fairly tight to the block.
However, as I said, I don't have them yet, so it's hard to really answer any questions until I can fit them.

monday morn bumpty bump

 

any interest?

 

Following up on this. I'm just waiting on my manifolds to get here from Gear Drive. I stole the following pictures off of Matt's Instagram account, but I'll post more once I get them mounted up. They should work really nice.

First picture is of the drivers side manifold, tacked together.

Second picture is of the drivers and passenger side together, and a happy Matt since I'll quit calling him now. haha

 

Hey guys,
We just put a '57 Olds J-2 371" with #16 heads in our '50 Olds Coupe. We're looking for a set of tube headers that will fit the car. Not race car type with a collectors. Just a set with 1-7/8 or 2" primaries with 2-1/4+/- outlets. Anybody know where we can get em or have a set made? Thanks MAGOO / Seattle, Wa.
