Sanderson Headers CC3BP-BEC Small Block Chevy

CC3BP-BEC Header Set, Small Block Chevy

The CC3BP header is a compact, small block Chevy header with a swept-back collector that fits 1970–92 Chevrolet Camaro, 1955-up Chevy Trucks, and various other vehicle applications and conversions.

Featuring a 15-degree collector angle on the driver side and a 5-degree angle on the passenger side, the CC3 header offers ample space around the cross member and starter. The CC3 fits street rod applications using a Camaro front subframe. Depending on the year of the truck, modifications to factory air conditioning, alternator brackets, and motor mounts may be required on specific truck applications. Available for both angle plug and D-Port cylinder head applications.

Note: The “BP” in this part number denotes Blueprint compatibility.

OPTIONS:

Our Ceramic Coating is recommended for every vehicle application and is the default finish selection choice above. To meet high standards of quality, We apply a multi-layer inside and outside aluminized ceramic coating in-house and then polish the coating to a high luster. This aerospace and military-grade technology adds excellent protection to your headers while offering the benefit of thermal control in your engine bay. It also improves cylinder scavenging of exhaust gases and increases the longevity of your header investment.

What is a D-Port?

We often see confusion in what is considered a D-Port cylinder head for small block Chevrolet engine applications. The problem originates in the technical understanding of what constitutes a true D-PORT versus a D-shape. The D-Port roof extends well above the centerline of the exhaust port, whereas the D-shaped port fits nicely inside what is deemed a standard port dimension. As shown in the graphic below, the d-shape easily fits within the common round or square port flange opening.

Where other header manufacturers use a typical flat header flange and gasket for sealing, the patented raised flange design of the Sanderson Headers requires different flanges for different small block Chevy exhaust port shapes. Other header flanges will often block the top of the exhaust port on D-port heads. When using a Sanderson D-Port flange the port is not blocked. However, using the wrong flange with a Sanderson header may expose open areas that will not seal, creating an exhaust leak.

Examples:

1. Using a D-port flange on a common GM head (standard round, square, or D-shaped port), the header port flange open is larger (taller opening) than the sealing area around the exhaust port.
2. Using a standard Sanderson header flange on a D-port cylinder head has a similar problem, where the cylinder head exhaust port opening may extend above the raised flange sealing area, again creating the possibility of an exhaust leak.
