I have a set of big block headers. Junked my small block ones years ago. Sorry.

If you need to look at my crossmember in mine let me know.

Did you guys check with Jim @ 62 Auto Salvage?

If you do call Jim at 62, be prepared to wait a couple of days. I was out there today and it is quite muddy and slick for getting around.

remember this Chris taught me this N>O>V>A nova omega venturie apollo there are all the same car I'm pretty sure parts world has a couple of those cars. Also I've seen it done alot but you could biuld your own crossmember for now.

Steve hall has a crossmember for something else. You might be able to use it, might be worth a try anyway.

Don't forget George up in Roosevelt...there are a couple of yards in Lawton that tended to have some old cars, one that I remember being pretty South of town out near the air port...not trying to take business away from Jim...just throwing out options since I spend more of my time searching yards vs. summit catalog...besides...its the thrill of the hunt...never know what you'll find...

I also have a set of SBC headers that came off my Nova...you'll just have to wait six weeks for me to get home from this deployment....keep it in mind if you don't find anything....they were for a 68-72 Chevelle but they fit mine just fine...I just upgraded...I'm pretty sure any SBC header short of a pickup will work on it...
