Awhile back, I posed this question on the CRG. Are there any headers that will work with the Backdrive linkage on a 69 Camaro Big Block 4 speed? I did not get an answer on CRG and thought there are more guys with this combo on this site that might know. I ask as I need the backdrive linkage and I know where one is on another Big Block car locally. The guy is not interested in originality and wants to put headers and modify the car with chrome, braided hoses etc..a shame IMO, but if there are no headers that will work (I said I would try and get an answer) he said I can have the linkage. So help me and this guy out please. Thanks sYc. I already acquired his original radiator, cluth fan, chrome shifter ball etc.. as he replaces with Chinese crap.

I saw your CRG post, I do not believe there are any headers that will clear a backdrive esp on a BB.

I don't see why the headers would fit any differently than a BB Nova of the same vintage..?? Our survivor 70 4 spd had a vintage set of headers that worked fine with all the factory linkage. I think it really depends on the type and size of the headers..
