GM LS (all exc. LS7) Engine Swap Headers in 1955-57 Chevy
PART #: 2293-3HKR
UPC #: 700414007229
These swap Headers allow enthusiasts to drop an LS (all exc. LS7) engine into the ever popular 1955–1957 Chevy. These new Headers were designed to fit with a Unisteer rack and pinion system. They are a true 1 ¾” long tube design to sufficiently maximize the torque and horsepower of the free breathing LS engines.
Engine swap headers, for use with Unisteer aftermarket rack and pinion steering.
Installation Notes
Breaking in an engine with ceramic coated Headers WILL result in damage to the coating and will VOID all warranties. Ceramic coated Headers require several heat cycles to fully cure before they will withstand extreme heat. Hooker recommends using cast iron exhaust manifolds or old Headers to break in new engines to avoid coating damage. Please call Hooker tech service at 270-781-9741 for additional information regarding ceramic coated exhaust products. The use of header wraps can cause the header tubes to crack or rust due to excessive heat and moisture build-up. Hooker does not recommend the use of header wraps as this will void the warranty.
Features
True long-tube design to maximize performance potential of engine
Thick plate steel flanges provide leak-proof seal at cylinder heads
Designed to fit with Unisteer rack and pinion
Designed to be compatible with other popular aftermarket components for this application
Formulated to withstand extreme temperatures (stability rating is 1700° F) without discoloration and maintains excellent adhesion even after repeated thermal cycling
Provides a higher heat tolerance threshold than available from silver ceramics (ours or any of our competitor’s) and is therefore recommended for any applications producing elevated exhaust gas temperatures, such as when using superchargers and/or nitrous oxide systems
High-efficiency thermal properties limit heat migration through the header assembly, which in turn lowers under-hood temperatures for more performance
Increased corrosion protection ensures long service life and maintained appearance of investment
Provides unique styling enhancement that is equally pleasing in either a nostalgic retro application or a modern hi-tech build. As this coating is not burnished after its application, the surface appearance is more consistent than that of a silver ceramic coated header. Be different and go black!
