are these hot air kb headers?

[fullahotair]

Hey guys, I am potentially looking to pick up these headers and pipes. The seller and myself are uncertain of the make of these headers, so i thought i would ask around to see what kind of info i can dig up. We suspect they are kenne bell headers. Any input would be greatly appreciated.


kb headers?



thanks, Nathyn

My guess is they are for a carb setup .

thanks for the response chad, I don't know what the carb setup looks like to be honest, but i thought these look like they would fit the hot-air engine by trying to visualize the pieces on the engine.... does anyone have KB headers and can tell me if this what their system looks like..??


Thanks,
Nathyn

Nathyn,

I don't own a set, but those look just like a set of headers that I had been looking at buying a about a year ago, I compared the pic I got from the seller back then, to the pic you have, and they are the same configuration. I wasn't able to get the whole kit at the time, just headers. Wasn't what I wanted to do.

FWIW. I would say, without seeing them, that you guessed right. They do look like they are in need of a good cleaning, though.

Where the ones you were looking supposed to be KB headers???...from what i have read, KB are supposed to be some of the best flowing pieces

Yeah they are a little dirty, but nothing a wire wheel won't fix

They look like Bowling Greem Customs headers to me.
Don't really know for sure or how many they made.
Not KB headers tho.

 

[fullahotair]

How do the bowling green customs compare to postons/atr etc?

I just got through taking my stock headers off my 84 TType, and these are definately the aftermarket design. I wasn't aware that KB has a header setup for Hot Air turbos. One item of interest, the crossover pipe looks to be a two piece setup. I am only aware of the stock 86 - 87 GN's to have that type of setup.

Poston has a two piece crossover pipe.......I got one on my car.

KB headers

They look exactly like the KB headers on my 85T.

Your right Dale. looked at the pics again.
KB headers.

I too had heard that the KB headers flowed well. But when I was looking, I found a pair by themselves, not with crossover, etc. So I didn't want to be stuck trying to find those odd pieces. Decided that I would go with ATR stainless, figure I can get those easy enough.

Sorry for the late reply, I mailed you. Those are KB headers. Im really impressed w/ the welding quality and thick flanges. Make sure you clean those up. I have a jet-hot type powder coat on mine and they look really good. Any more ?'s mail me.
Later
