which headers for a bagged 68
I have a 68 c-10 with either 2" or 2.5" drop spindles, 4" drop springs in the rear 15" rally rims with 275/60/15 tires. I plan on bagging all 4 corners and installing a c-notch. Right now I have long tube headers but will need shorties. Which do yall recommend? Are the summit headers worth buying?
If it makes a differnce I have a 350 backed by a 350. Should I buy a crossmember premade with exhaust holes or cut my own Thanks.

Re: which headers for a bagged 68
My guess is that you won't get low enough to worry about getting shorties. I would also just cut your crossmember to run the pipe.

Re: which headers for a bagged 68
My headers are already pretty low with the suspension I have.
EDIT.. well I thought that was a better picture.

Re: which headers for a bagged 68
That's what I figured. The hedmans seem like a good deal.

Re: which headers for a bagged 68
I had Hedman's and edelbrocks on my blazer before I switched to 2.5" corvette ramhorns. These flow just as good as headers for most applications and keep engine bay temps down. I highly recommend them.

Re: which headers for a bagged 68
I'm running a set of shorty headers from a chevelle. They fit alright, and are reasonably priced on eBay.
these are not the exact ones I'm running, but they should work. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...n%3D2%26ps%3D5 Here's a pic of mine installed.
