Are there any headers for an SC that don't require new oil lines?
I have an '83 SC motor in a '74 chassis, and want to replace the heat exchangers with headers. It seems every aftermarket header I see requires swapping the hard oil line for a pre-74 one, which I then read is a major PIA. So, are there any headers out there that DON'T require a new oil line? Thanks!

Anyway , stock oil lines can be bended to fit correctly without touching the headers.
Heat sheet is recommended to prevent excessive temp'.

Hard to do with the headers in place, but doable if you're replacing the headers.
