Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I recently bought a base model 93 s13. Done a v8 swap. Turned out good I think considering my first real swap.and build. I'm in Asheville NC ..where people are all the same basically... Subarus. Camaros. Vettes and mustangs.. Figured id be the od ball... Just having a hard time finding a set of headers to work on my swap. Any ideas?

Welcome to NICO!

Sounds like a sweet build, put up some photos if you get a chance!
As for headers, that'll depend on the generation of the SBC. Usually a "block hugger" or "shorty" style header will do the trick. You'll have to get creative with a custom exhaust, but it'll work.

Looking forwards to photos!!

Yea I bought a set of block huggers and they're too close to the crossmember to run an exhaust to it.. Shortys exit too close to the steering shaft on the driver side. Hopefully someone had had this issue before and resolved it.. In unsure of how to post pics but I have plenty from the build
