What headers to use
 

Hey everyone so I have a 1960 GMC 1000 with a 73 front crossmember SBC and TH350 for everyone else running this setup what headers did ya all go with. TIA and pictures are appreciated.

Is your truck lowered so that you need a shorty or mid length header? Or will regular long tube headers work?

Its going to be lowered so i was thinking shorties or i might just grab a set of ram horns for free

Re: What headers to use
 

What about a set of the new Ram Horn exhaust manifolds with 2 1/2" Collectors? Available through Speedway, eBay, and others I'm sure. Here's the Speedway link

What's a good choice if it isn't lowered Cap't?

long tube

The Hedman #69260's are designed for the '63-'66 trucks with a small block. You can also use the Hedman #69090's and the Hooker #2452's. Those are designed for later model trucks but will work just fine. The 69260's have 1.5" primary tubes and the 69090 and 2452's have 1.625" primary tubes.

Had any experience with Thorley Headers...Highly recommended here in Cali...

Re: What headers to use
 

It depends a bit on what driving you do. Drag strip every weekend = long tube. Cruising and listening to tunes = Rams horns. Then all the choices in between.

No, I don't.

I've got a set of Thorleys for a BBC. Buddy of mine took them off of his '86 v30 with a 496. They're very well made, tri Y design and worked really well for his truck until he started making over 700hp. He gave me these when he got new custom built ones. I'm going to run them on the L29 FI motor that's going in the '63.

I have block huggers on mine and its lowered a bit.. No issues them.
