Does anyone have an old set of clifford headers for a 235 that are either shot or they are not going to use? I have run a set of long tube cliffords since the very early 80s on my 57. Clifford can no longer makes the long tubes, just the shorty headers they currently sell. I prefer the long tubes. I have a 21 year old son who I thought had no interest in cars let alone old time inline 6 motors. Turns out he does and wants to build a 57 of his own with a 6 motor. Will need to make up some headers so looking for an old set to start the process. Does not have to be for a 55-57. Just clifford headers for a 235/261.

If you're up to it, Hell's Gate Hot Rods has the flanges and good mandrel bent elbows, as well as straight sections of tubing to build really good custom headers.

Many thanks. I saw that but they get 70 for just the flanges shipped (26.20 for shipping which is unreasonable when they will fit a 12.00 usps flat rate box and usps provides the box) but here is the rub. Good 235 Chevy headers use two different size tubes to take into consideration the two siamesed exhaust ports (2/3 and 4/5) and the single ports (1 and 6). Those flanges are cut for just one size. I am sure I could make whatever modifications were required but I would rather start out with a Clifford flange to make a pattern out of. At least that is the plan. May very well end up with the hells gate flanges. Thanks for responding! Mike
I've made and sold quite a few flanges for the Stovebolt's before. If you can't find what you need just let me know.

Call them, (Hell's Gate) and talk to Andy. My 153 header and intake used siamesed intake ports on the intake and we made that work. I'm confident that he can help you out!!
