Header question
 
Will shorty style headers work on 4x4 67-72 trucks with a SBC in it?

Re: Header question
 
I should think so... all of the differences between 4wd and 2wd is below the frame anyway right? You'll have to extend your exhaust pipes. THat should be it, but I don't have any personal experience with these and 4x4's so don't blame me if I'm wrong :)

Curious, why block huggers over other models or styles? (Length? Price? Design?)

I have the same question but for a '72 2WD BBC. Maybe not the block huggers but some shorty headers. The long tubes hang below the frame and it's the lowest thing on my truck and I can't get over any kind of speed bump without bangin' the headers.

Design. I've read long-tube 4x4 headers for our trucks interfere with the clutch linkage, and you have to mod the clutch linkage. And I don't want to mod the clutch linkage. :lol: And, Summit shorty headers are $90 a pair with gaskets, reducers, bolts etc.

I had long tube headers on my 71 4x4 but had an automatic so no clutch linkage problems. JUST EXTREMELY LOUD!!:lol: It also had glass packs on it though and that didn't help. I got ram horns and high flow mufflers now, still true duals, and it's so much more enjoyable to drive.:metal:
