I believe that is the popular header most everyone runs on here.

It might just be me but most of them look like they aren't tuned. Is this something that should be considered? I'm thinking about putting a set on my 350. I've never had headers on any vehicle because I prefer stock but I think, in this case, I'm going to trim my engine up for just a bit more performance.

http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/a...Fitz/Notch.jpgThese are Sanderson BB-4 blockhuggers. On my 67 Stepside they tuck up between the frame rails so nothing is hanging down and they did not require much in terms of cutting to fit. On the passenger side I needed to put a small oval notch in the upper part of the frame rail but it was only 3/8 inches deep and 2 inches long. If this motor was anything other than a 572 that would not have been required but the heads are very far apart on this tall deck block. They also required relocating the oil filter which I did.

I've got Sandersons on my '70, and I really like them. The head flange is very thick, (3/8") so there is no need for a gasket at the head, (high heat silicone only)and the collector is 2.5", so I just welded the exhaust pipe directly to a bolt on collector flange, eliminating the need for a reducer/collector. I also like the fact that they don't hang down below the frame, but they do hug the trans pretty tight, and I don't think that I could remove the trans without removing the headers first. I'm not sure what the part number is, but I think mine were made for early 90's chevy trucks.

I did say it was relocated.

Mr. Fitz, Professor Spoof must point out that the tag line about "intra-personal" problems and explosives suggests that one is intending to blow ones self up. To blow up other individuals, the usual source of one's misanthropy would be the result of "inter-personal" problems. Class dismissed.

Oh yeah, I have the block huggers. There collecting nothing but dust right now in the basement. The Zoomies are cool!

Check out my build thread. I have a set of the mid lengths on mine, and they fit and look (ceramic coated) way better that the long tube headmans I had.

I just got a set of CC 10 headers for my 71 2wd blazer from ECE and they don't with fit my 4 speed manual trans linkage Z bar. I have to do some mods to where the Z bar is pivoted from. Anyone else have this problem?
