72 gmc c10 headers ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

po_bird · 12-29-2009, 11:14 PM

I am having trouble finding headers that will fit. I have bought 3 different pair. The motor mount on the pass side is in the way. Its like it comes up to high for the header to bolt up. What kind do you guys have? I have a sbc engine.

Are they a truck part#?This is 2wd,right?

po_bird · 12-30-2009, 12:22 PM

Yea, it is 2wd. The headers I tried where suppose to be made for my truck. I tried the flowtech brand and their afterburner type as well. It looks like my motor mount bracket comes up to high.

Was your truck originally equipped with a V8? If not, someone could have used a motor mount that isn't right?

I've used Hooker Super comp headers in the past, and they were the best bet/fit for the money.

i have hookers super comps in both my trucks, fit perfect. good ground clearance too.
in one truck the motor is in the wrong set of holes and still fit.

i am running hedmans on mine. i put as set of flow techs on anoter truck and the fit was horrible.

po_bird · 12-30-2009, 03:12 PM

Original v8. I think I will try a set of headmans next.

cdowns · 12-30-2009, 03:57 PM

the problem with hedmans especially on a lowered truck is they hang quite low under the frame

po_bird · 12-30-2009, 04:46 PM

Which ones give good ground clearance. I need to have that.

po_bird · 12-30-2009, 07:28 PM

Do you remember the part #. What year did is your trucks
