The Sanderson SBC Headers are the go-to choice for SBC builds. They are the tightest fitting headers on the market, making them ideal for tight builds where steering, frame rails, and suspension clearance matter.

Built from 16-gauge steel primary and collector tubes with a 3/8″ thick patented flange, these headers require no gaskets — reducing leak points and simplifying installation.

Optional upgrade: Professionally TIG welded V-Bands available for increased durability and ease of installation.

  • Header Bolt Set
  • Collector Reducer Set
  • All Required Installation Hardware

Tech Insight

When space is tight, traditional long-tube headers can create major clearance problems. Block hugger headers solve that issue by staying tight to the engine block — and Sanderson does it better than anyone.

  • Extremely compact design for maximum chassis clearance
  • Patented flange eliminates gasket failures
  • Strong 16-gauge tubing holds up under hard use
