Sanderson BB8-SEC Shorty Headers Big Block Chevy Silver Ceramic Coated

The Sanderson BB8-SEC is a shorty header set designed specifically for Big Block Chevrolet engines (396-502 cubic inches) in 1968-1987 Chevrolet and GMC pickups and 1967-1991 Suburbans. These blockhugger-style headers clear all stock steering and chassis components, making installation straightforward on factory-equipped trucks.

Patented Leak-Free Flange Design:

Sanderson headers feature a patented leak-free flange design crafted from precision laser-cut 3/8-inch thick steel flanges with a built-up weld bead uniformly ground around exhaust ports and bolt holes. This unique design requires no gaskets—simply apply a bead of Permatex Ultra Black silicone gasket maker for a perfect seal.

Premium Silver Ceramic Coating:

The BB8-SEC features a multi-layer aluminized silver ceramic coating applied inside and outside, then polished to a high luster. This coating provides aerospace-grade thermal protection to control engine bay heat, improve exhaust gas scavenging, and extend header longevity.
