the headers i'm using that timspeed is talking about are for late 60's early 70's camaros and chevelles. they are NOT full length. if you try to use a full length car header on your truck the collectors are most likeley going to shoot straight into the tranny crossmember. this is what matt (82 blackbeast) did on his truck. he then had to build a custom tranny cross member to clear the headers as well as clearence the frame for the large diameter camaro full lengths he is using. if you really think you need full lengths and go the car header route you are just going to have to shoot in the dark and mabey you will get lucky. the short headers i'm using WILL fit with no modifications. the are very small primary tubes and 2-1/2 collectors, but will work fine for anything producing less than about 350 hp. they are really choking my 408, but i had planned to go the same route as matt if i wasn't going back to a stock motor. i've listed the part number for my headers before but i don't have it handy right now, just do a search if you want it.
