I have a later model steering box that I'd love to put in my '34, but it won't go with the stock exhaust manifolds- it's about 1/2" thicker than stock.

So I am looking for a good source for a set of tubular headers. Afew eyars back I tried the econpmy ones from, I think Mac's or Speedway, they didn't work.

Anyone know of a source whose headers give lots of room around the stock gearbox?

My 34 has an F100 steering box and the headers fit just fine they were purchased from Reds Headers

Red's Headers are the only way to go! THEY FIT!

Can also vouch for Reds Headers. Great to deal with even in NZ. Have purchased 2 sets from them.
Even had a RHD Set for my 55 Customline on the shelf. Quick and efficient also to this side of the globe.

Another vote for Reds, I put a 52 block in a 32 pinched frame, with an F100 gearbox. Headers fit perfect!

Trevo, is that what this box is? (F100) ?

Jim Davis at Red's Headers is a great guy to work with. We just worked together to build an exhaust extension for a flathead in original '32 frame with an F1 steering box. Jim had the header, but not the extension pipe. I made a mock up pipe to fit the drivers side, and now he will have that extension available to his customers. Red's 760 343 2590. Thousand Palms, CA
