    I second this question.
    I know that when I get a 455 to swap in that A-body 455 headers will drop right in.

    i believe that the TA Performance A-body headers will work. not positive though.

    ok i put the set of ta headers on my 76 x-body and the seem to fit , dont see anything bumping or rubbing or anything, so i would say they fit the x-body cars and i believe this is the a-body headers.

    Ihave a set of headers. I purchased them from TA way back oh about 12 years ago they are standard A body headers. Both headers need to be modefied to fit the chassis. After they are modefied there is very little clearence on the left side for the centre bolt. It needs to be installed prior to installing the engine. I thought about just using a rack and tossing the steering box, but the headers would still need to be modefied to clear the upper control arms..

    The skylark headers will fit the 75 and newer. The 73-75 apollo needs the tubes modified to make fit.

    If you don't find what you are looking for ,I have a certificate for a set of Hooker Headers of your choice for $300.00. It has to be used 90 days from 6/14/14. I won these on the Power Tour and cannot use them. PM me if you are interested. Thank you, Les
