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!

rarlyl8t sels them, on this forum they are great

I am about to do tis but had not heard it was a PITA? Is the problem getting the oil lines loose?

Anyway , stock oil lines can be bended to fit correctly without touching the headers.

Heat sheet is recommended to prevent excessive temp'.

I've read removing and re-installing the oil line where it meets the engine in the rear is difficult, but the oil line issue is always overshadowed by "snapping exhaust studs" when people bring up potential header swap problems.

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

Yah I just finished with the removing the heat exch battled the nuts and studs) and was going to tackle the oil line today. I think with the exh off it wont be too bad.
