Re: Headers for a '79 - What is the best value?

The popular factory manifolds are rams horns, like what came on older corvettes. They were installed on a lot of vehicles, but the corvette ones (2.5" I think) are the ones everyone wants.

Some folks have reported having to notch their motor mounts to get them to clear, but N2TRUX didn't have any problems when he installed them on his truck.

I have looked at some of the non-corvette ones lately at swap meets. The seem to go for about $50 per pair, and usually need new studs.

The easiest thing to do would be to just get a set off a similar pickup in a junkyard. That way you know they will fit.
