I have a 67RS 327 with a 10bolt rear end. I want to get rid of my exaust manifolds and get a set of headers. My tranny is the stock powerglide, its in good shape and I like the feel of it.I have a new edlbrock 4bbl 650 carb. I'm not sure how much hoarses I'm putting out and I'm afraid headers will blow my rearend. What do you think.

I wouldn't worry about it. Headers only add a few extra horses.

the headers won't be what takes the rear out, it will be the right foot and the grin from the sound http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

If you are a stock two barrel, you are 210hp. If you are a stock four barrel, then you are probably a 250/275hp engine. pdq67

I have seen 400-450 horse cars get by with STOCK 10 bolts. GO FOR IT!!!!

If your rear end is in good shape it should be fine. However, it might not be a bad time to change the gear lube if you haven't done it in a while and check the gears at the same time. If you take into consideration that all the new Camaro's use a 7 1/2" rear you will be fine.

We two have a high 10 second and a low 11 second 3rd gen cars with 7.5" rears. Both cars leave with front wheels up and they live. The trick is not to beat the rear. I launch is one thing, but "lashing" the gears is another.

Thanks Guys

How about some good ideas on the headers of choice!

I've had a set of Hedman on mine for over 20 years. The're inexpensive and are decent quality for the money spent.
