SBC D-Port Headers - 67-81 Camaro - Shorty

The HEDMAN SBC D-Port Headers for 67-81 Camaro Shorty represent a foundational upgrade for any small-block Chevy stroker or performance build targeting the F-Body platform. These shorty-style headers are engineered for street applications where engine bay clearance and sustained drivability matter as much as raw flow potential. Built to fit A-Body, B-Body, F-Body, and X-Body GM platforms from 1964–94, this header design delivers consistent exhaust scavenging without the fitment headaches of long-tube alternatives in tight vintage Camaro engine compartments.

These headers feature 1.625-inch primary tubes that merge into a 3-inch collector, a proven chamber sizing that balances velocity and backpressure across the RPM band typical of street and bracket-racing small-block applications. The D-port configuration maximizes flow efficiency by aligning primary runners with the intake port layout, minimizing turbulence and improving cylinder filling. Constructed from durable steel with a protective black powder coat finish, the headers resist thermal stress and corrosion while maintaining a clean, factory-adjacent appearance. Gaskets and mounting hardware are included, eliminating the need for secondary purchases and reducing installation time—critical when swapping or modifying a classic Camaro's exhaust system.

Carburetor and fuel-injected small-block Chevy owners benefit most from this design, particularly those working within the confines of first- and second-generation F-Body chassis where header packaging is constrained by steering columns and accessory drives. Street mechanics and weekend fabricators favor shorty headers for their straightforward installation and proven reliability in vehicles running stock or mildly upgraded compression ratios. Compatibility spans stock 350 blocks through aftermarket 383 stroker combinations, making these headers a versatile choice for restorations, daily drivers, and vintage drag builds alike.
