Default Headers for 76 Camaro...

Hey I'm new to this and i was wondering if the LT headers by summit will fit my 76 camaro with a 350 because of space?

Best to call Summit's tech line and pose the same question. I've used Summit, and their tech line for many years, and they are super guys. They will surely be able to answer this question best.

I did email Summit and it said I would get an answer in the next business day.
And also how much HP do you think I'll be getting if I put them on my car.
Because $90 for headers ain"t bad.

No idea how much horsepower, as you didn't mention any specs for your engine setup, or what exhaust system you're using now, or will use with the change. Way to many variables to determine a HP increase.

My exhaust right now has true duals with stock mufflers and manifolds with no cats.

My engine is a stock 350. I'd say around 240-260hp...Does that help?

i got a 77 and i bought shorties and they fit good, no clearance issues so far. im doing a inline six to a 327 mill switch, since i live out in the middle of nowhere off 3 dirt roads i didn't want no dragging. only thing is you gotta have more bends in the exhaust to come up and meet the headers than full length
