Sanderson CC16BP-SEC Small Block Chevy Shorty Blockhugger Headers for BluePrint Engines Silver Ceramic

The Sanderson CC16BP-SEC is a shorty blockhugger header set engineered specifically for small block Chevrolet engines equipped with BluePrint Engines cylinder heads. These headers feature Sanderson's renowned tight engine block fit and are manufactured in the USA with precision craftsmanship developed over decades of street rod and muscle car experience.

This set is finished in Sanderson's Silver Aluminized Ceramic Coating, applied in-house using a multi-layer inside-and-outside process and polished to a high luster. This aerospace and military-grade coating provides superior thermal management in the engine bay, improves cylinder scavenging of exhaust gases, and extends the service life of the headers.

Key Features:

• 1-5/8" primary tube diameter with 2-1/2" collector for optimized exhaust flow
• 16-gauge steel primary and collector tube construction
• Precision laser-cut, 3/8" thick steel header flanges
• Patented leak-free gasketless flange design — seals with Permatex Ultra Black silicone, no gaskets required
• Multi-layer inside and outside silver aluminized ceramic coating, polished to a high luster
• Specifically configured for BluePrint Engines straight-plug cylinder heads with raised exhaust port exits and Vortec-style spark plug locations
• Compatible with stock motor mounts; fits both manual and automatic transmissions
• Includes all hardware necessary for installation
• Made in the USA

BluePrint Head Compatibility Note: BluePrint cylinder heads feature a raised exhaust port exit and Vortec-style straight spark plug locations. This changes the up-down angle of the spark plug and the center-to-center distance of the two center spark plugs compared to standard non-Vortec heads. The standard center-to-center spark plug distance is 4.5", versus 4.0" on Vortec-style heads. The CC16BP-SEC is manufactured with the proper dimpling and fitment adjustments to accommodate these BluePrint-specific head dimensions.

Important: Do not use header wrap tape on Sanderson Headers — doing so voids the warranty. The included silver ceramic coating provides superior thermal protection and is the only recommended heat management solution for these headers.

Backed by Sanderson's 5-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship when the warranty card is returned at time of purchase. Sold as a pair.
