Haeder info 350 Goin Back In

[Dan Wales]

Here's what I have. 1971 with a 350 and 700R4 going back in.

As you can see I managed to pull the engine and trans with the headers still welded to the exhaust and someone had cut the collector flanges off and the pipes are 2 1//2 all the way back to the Flow Masters.

These headers are getting old and losing their coating. Of course I can cut these off blast'em then recoat I really don't know what they are. I know there are two plug boots that lay directly on a tube. It would seem to me during the last few years a header company would make a set that produced good power as well as excess to park plugs.

Great deal of talk about Headman 69090's & 69092 as well as Hooker 24552.

Appreciate any info that would help with the choice. I've read that Capt Fab has installed a bunch of Headman.

One of the guys on the board, tkorinek, sold me some new headers. They look good and fit well. I put the plug wires beneath them and so far so good. One or two of the boots are close but with the 90º boots no one rubs.

[Dan Wales]

Hopefully he'll come on and let us know what they are. Looks like they come out just about 1/2 inch further than mine before they make the turn down.

The coating sure looks nice.

My Doug Thorly Try Y's bought in 95-96 require stubby plugs and i had to add Fiberglass boot covers so unless thy redesigned them its probably not on you would want to consider.

I'm building a 350/700R4 now also. I'm using Sanderson CC11 headers. Very nice quality.

if you are looking for a long tube style go with the headman, the ball and socket style flange is awesome, no more leaking flange gaskets, and i use the stock Chevy manifold gaskets that seal better than the header style gaskets

Headers are private brand, & made overseas, for the price $200 + shipping for ceramic coated headers they are hard to beat, I sell them & have 1 set available for shipping right now.
They come with the collectors.
Sometimes they include the hardware
Gaskets are included.
They are made to specifically fit 64-72 2wd Chevy trucks
Longhorn70 thanks for all the extra info!
Thanks,

another note on the tkorinek headers: Both sides went in from the top on my truck with little effort. I used the ARP 5/16" head 3/8x1" stainless header bolts. I only have 500 miles or so on them but they look good and don't leak.
