307 headers / exhaust

BareProductions · Oct 30, 2007

Hello!

I'm new to the forum....just bought a 73 Nova Custom with a 307 and turbo 350 trans. I'm pretty sure the ride height is stock in the front...maybe slightly lowered if anything. Rear has multi-leaf springs and air shocks.

Eventually, once the funds are available, I'll be upgrading to a 350, 383, or something larger.

However, I'd like to drive the car in the meantime. The exhaust system is in need of some work. I figure I'll go with either the Jegs or Summit header-back exhaust system....can anyone recommend a good (relatively cheap) header? Whatever is on there now (long tube) sits really low and was hit pretty bad.

Also...I assume the header/manifold bolt pattern is the same for a 307 as a 350??

Thanks for any replies!

summit sells a kit with headers and full exhaust with mufflers all the way back for under 300. (forgot actual price.)
and it looks like a great deal by the time you factor in the cost of the headers, mufflers, and pipe. just a thought

i think thats the same price as summit (im to tired to look it up) so if jegs shipping is also free i guess either one would work great. and supers does sound good look at the summit exhaust thread. he put a vid. in it.

Awesome! thanks for the info.

Summit's kit looks similar...Summit also has the kit that exits before the rear wheels...might go with that so I don't have to deal with the over axle pipes.

I read some power steering boxes don't work out with some of these headers...anyone know anything about these cheap Jegs / Summit headers? I might be going with a 3-3.5 steering box soon from Ground Up.

Here's a pic of my 73...some of you may have seen it on ebay:

usually the header will have notes if steering boxes have fitment issues... oh and let me tell you... over the axle pipes can be full of install inconveniences

the kit is super easy it just takes any temper besides a short one
