1967 stance with 1" lowering springs and Arning drop. Header clearance.. 3.5"

[1967 eight barrel]

My 67' GT500 has the Arning drop with the Global west spacers. I just really got a good look at header clearance as well.  A bit on the low side. The Arning drop should only lower the car about 3/8" and the springs 1" . To the lip of the wheel opening edge is 23.75". Anyone else have a measurements  from floor to weel opening edge centered with the wheel centercap?

Are those Hookers?

Yes. They sure are.

Mine runs the vintage HOOKERS, and measures 23 3/8 tall in the front with 225 x60x15 tires, looks or hangs down the same.

The Hooker Super Comps have never changed. However,  They are really low.

Bob Gaines had a really great set of headers on his '67. He had posted pictures of them on the old crashed forum. I don't know if he still has those pics. They had a lot better clearance then the Hookers which I think really are the problem. They were big tube, non tri-y and full length as well. Nice.

That's the difference now between $500 and $3500 headers? Unfortunately BB Mustangs are maybe the poster child for impossible or nearly impossible scenarios.

Whether they were worth the effort to get them in, you'd have to ask him.

JBA headers are long tube block huggers. They are cost prohibitive. I think about 1300.00 these days.

I've only seen the JBA tri-ys. I've never seen j's "ultimate" 67 GT500 individual, long tube header. Apparently only J has them on his car?

mine hang low like that and are flat on the bottom now from many hits on low areas

That's one way of fixing them?

My 68 has low hanging headers as well although they've not contacted the ground (yet). With the bias ply tires (shown) the distance from the ground to the bottom of the rocker pinch weld is 9-1/4" on the front and 10" at the rear. With 235-60R15's it drops to 9" front and 9-1/4" at the rear. The suspension is fairly stiff though.

These are reported to not drag on the ground.
