I have a 77 triumph tr7 with a sbc 385. Im looking for advice on what headers will work with this. Anyone have experience with this or know anyone who did it. Any info would be appreciated!

There are not headers made for the conversion. All the ones I ave seen have been typical cast manifolds with the center drop.

Well for the passenger side it's any manifold will work and the drivers side is best for on the dumps towards the rear to clear the steering column.

Best bet is to get a header kit and make them fit. Then you will need to do frame connectors and reinforce all the suspension pickup points! That kind of HP will tear a TR7 apart,
