The Jayster Full-Fender is designed for street rod applications with front fenders.

Please select options carefully, and contact us if you have any questions.

However, some crafters have modified their vehicles with an access provision to route a downpipe. For this reason, the default Jayster Full Fender does NOT include an under-chassis adapter. However, it is available when needed.

QP1000 Cast-Series Header Set, Small Block Chevy https://sandersonheaders.com/product/qp1000-cast-series-header-set-small-block-chevy/ https://sandersonheaders.com/product/qp1000-cast-series-header-set-small-block-chevy/#respond Mon, 05 Jun 2023 04:11:43 +0000 https://sandersonheaders.com/?post_type=product&p=10792 The QP1000 cast iron “Quiet Performer” header set overcomes some limitations of tube-style headers while providing a tight fit and producing gains in both low-end torque and high-end horsepower. The QP1000 provides excellent steering clearance, even for Tri-5 (1955-57) Chevy cars using the Saginaw 605 power steering gear.

The QP1000 Cast Series header incorporates individual runners to separate the engine’s exhaust pulses, with cast-in anti-reversion baffling to prevent spent gasses from being drawn back into the cylinder during valve timing overlap (when both intake and exhaust valves are open). Scavenging of the cylinders is significantly improved through D-Shaped technology, first used by GM on their HO (High Output) cylinder heads. The result is an exhaust header that creates more torque and power at every RPM range.

Other Benefits:

Because the QP1000 is more compact than tubular headers, it provides more clearance for steering, accessories, and other chassis and engine components. Cast using the highest-quality materials, the QP1000 is stronger and more reliable than the original factory exhaust, and it offers great looks, too! The QP1000 is Sanderson’s most popular header for small block 55-57 Chevy applications!

NOTES:

  • The QP1000 fits straight plug, standard bolt pattern, standard port location cylinder heads.
  • Does NOT fit Vortec-style cylinder heads (Please review the “Vortec-Style Heads” information tab)
  • Not compatible with BluePrint cylinder heads. (BluePrint heads are based on GM Vortec plug locations)
  • Fits 1968-Up Nova, 1967-69 Camaro/Firebird, Corvette, Tri-Five, and many other applications!

Includes all hardware necessary for installation.

Collector Diameter: 2½”

FEATURES:

  • 16-Gauge Primary and Collector Tube Thickness
  • 3/8″ Thick Flange
