Which block hugger headers aree you using?

Looks like I am going to have to use block hugger headers on my 5.3 AD with C4 front end. I have 3 sets of manifolds and C5 worked until I ran my brake lines now they are to close for my likeing. What is a good fitting brand to use?

Why not just reroute the brake lines?

Boxed frame with no other good way. Only way around is under the frame.

Re: Which block hugger headers aree you using?

I used Hooker block huggers, They are a universal application header for no specific vehicle, with tight clearance set ups. Center dump, and they come out parallel and slightly pointed in at the top of the oil pan. Only about $240, I used them because I was concerned with the stock z-bar clutch linkage that I decided to stay with. They come very close to the back of the starter, but will work fine. I still am awaiting exhaust from there on out.
