shortys or mid length hedders
 
I need some hedders with a 02 bung in them for my TBI upgrade. Any suggestions?

Buy your favorite brand and weld the bung into the collectors... a lot cheaper and a bigger selection this way. I used 18MM spark plug defoulers from Napa, just cut off the threaded ends and voila an O2 bung.

I can supply pics if needed....

Do you have shortys? Yes I can do that , but I still haven't found a good shorty or midlength.

Chevelle mid length seem to be the hot ticket. I do not personally have a set on my C10 yet, but I do own a 67 Chevelle with mid lengths and the bends look right for the truck. There are also several threads on it...

I'm partial to the shorties after the trouble I had scraping the bottoms of the headers on my burb.
I bought some new sandersons a few years back and they work just fine sitting in the box in basement, I only hope the look as good and fit nice on the Ram Jet 350 I ordered today.
Your comments on the sensor for fuel injection made me realize I might have to drill a hole in these beauties and weld in a bung. I sure don't trust myself for that...do you think you can put the sensor just past the shorties?

If you use a heated sensor you can put it down the pipe aways. Non heated needs to be with-in 12 inches from port on head. If you look at trucks with early TBI with non heated 02 sensors they were usually in the manifold itself.

Thanks Breezy, I'm not sure if the sensor is heated or not. I'm discuss with the engine installer ( I know...but I'm really busy right now !)

I put my O2 bung in the reducer.
