Hedman Hedders Offers Complete LS-Swap Kits for Tri-Five Chevys

Hedman Hedders makes swapping LS engines into your Tri-Five easier than ever with their new complete LS Swap Kit. The kit comes with full-length headers, engine mounts, gaskets and hardware needed to change your ’55-57 Chevy’s powerplant to the venerable LS small-block. The headers work with all the popular transmissions and are guaranteed to fit properly.

Official Release:

There are few cars as iconic as the 1955-1957 Chevy in the performance industry. Whether built as a drag racer, boulevard cruiser, or custom hot rod, “Shoebox” owners are always looking for a different and better way to make their cars stand out or go faster. With the increasing popularity of the modern GM LS engine, replacing a Tri-5’s original small block for its modernized cousin has opened up a whole new realm of power and performance. Now, with Hedman Husler Hedders’ full-length LS-swap headers for the ’55-’57 Chevy, enthusiasts can extract every last bit of horsepower from their modern powerplant. Hedman Husler’s full-length headers are engineered to deliver maximum exhaust flow and the most horsepower possible, regardless of the engine’s power rating. This series of headers is designed to fit 1955-1957 Chevrolets equipped with transplanted LS engines and T-56, 4L60E, 4L65E, or 4L80E transmissions. Available with 1 3/4-inch, 1 7/8-inch, 1 3/4 to 1 7/8-inch stepped, and massive 2-inch mandrel bent primaries, these headers can complement everything from the basic street build to the heaviest breathing naturally aspirated or supercharged engines. Built in the U.S.A., Hedman Husler’s LS swap headers are constructed with beefy, 3/8-inch flanges that keep the mandrel-bent primary tubes firmly attached to the engine, even under harsh driving conditions. These headers are available in your choice of either an uncoated finish (Part# 45610, 45630, 45620, and 45650), silver HTC high-temp ceramic-metallic coating (Part# 45616, 45636, 45626, and 45656), or in Hedman Husler’s new Black Maxx Black Ceramic Coating (Part# 45613, 45633, 45623, and 45653). Mounting hardware, gaskets and installation instructions are also included with the headers. To guarantee fit, it is STRONGLY recommended that companion Muscle Rods LS swap conversion mount kits, which were designed at the same time as the headers, be used during installation. This ensures the engine is properly located in the engine bay, and even incorporate special channels to allow routing of header tubes.

Features:

  • Available with 1 3/4-inch, 1 7/8-inch, or 1 3/4 to 1 7/8-inch stepped headers
  • Available in different coatings
  • Complete kit includes motor and trans mounts
