    Default Water Jacketed header help

    I have an 84 Eliminator with a SBC 350 engine currently installed. I have an older style glenwood exhaust setup on there now, with one intlet for water at the front, a tube that splits that incoming setup, then runs along the top to the rear of the log where the exhaust exits through the rest of the system.

    I am looking at a set of new style headers with an inlet for each header tube for water access..

    Could you provide any kind of help as to how I should plumb this? I have one water source coming in as of now, should I run individual braided lines to each exhaust tube with a fitting? Kind of new to me, and I'm not in a place where I can take a look at any other setups right now.

    Thanks!

    You may want to call Jan at Lightning Headers. He's on this forum. I have a set of his and they work great. He will custom make you a set after you send him a few dimensions.

    You have pictures of the setup?

    Usually we use Cmi, and we can configure the water ports as needed. Usually water enters the lower distribution tubes, then works it way up to the jump tubes then out the tails. Post a few pics of you left over plumbing.

    Thanks
