4.3 v6 headers?
Anyone know of a manufacturer that makes headers for a 4.3 v6 in a 67 c-10 2wd with floor shift manual trans?

Nope. Maybe some later model headers, lik 88-95 truck headers with a 4.3 would work. Not sure........

Re: 4.3 v6 headers?
Maybe some for the 4.3L V6 from the s-series would fit, have you tried the major brands yet? And craigslist.com and ebay.

Re: 4.3 v6 headers?
i agree with either S-10/ blazer header or truck, would use truck though they have better choices and better bends. Wanna see a rad 4.3, check out my buddies 4.3 on campbellautomotive.com

Re: 4.3 v6 headers?
Yeh, headers for the S-series would be tight against the block for if they were used in a S-series. Might not be a bad thing for what your using though. I cant remember for the life of me who made a great set... Thats if the modern 4.3L headers fit the older one...

Re: 4.3 v6 headers?
Thanks for the info guys. There is a place selling 4.3 header flanges on Ebay. I might just make them but I was trying to save time.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...8158221&rd=1,1

Re: 4.3 v6 headers?
They did not make a 4.3 (262 CI) in 67. If someone put one in from a later model, then as mentioned I would think the headers from the later model would clear the frame areas. Problem you may have is if you are using a z-bar (original) style clutch vice the hydraulic used on the newer ones.
On another note the later model V6 (4.3 ) is a 90 degree V6, while GM's earlier models were not. I if memory serves me right I believe they were 60 degree models. This means the header flanges and piipes would probably not set or route even close to correct.

Re: 4.3 v6 headers?
The 4.3 V6s are based off of the 350 sbc and are all 90degree blocks. The 2.8, 3.1, 3.4v6s used in the cars and S10s are 60degree.

Re: 4.3 v6 headers?
I have long tubes on my 4.3 V6 S15 Jimmy. They tuck up reasonably close to the block, close enough to make changing spark plugs nearly impossible anyways,
 . I have no idea who made them, as they came on the truck, but if you want I can see if I can get a good pic.
