I saw the negative feedback, but nothing pertaining to that specific item. A lot of good feedback also, so not sure?

Re: S/S big block shorty headers on ebay

It would be worth $104 just to see if they fit!!! I was out more than that with trying to get headers to work with my BB combo!!!!

I ended up using Sanderson BB8, they are kind of a shorty header. I have POL tubular engine mounts also, the fit was nice but the only thing I don't like is how close the collector is to the oil filter, makes changing oil a bit of a pain in the rear!!!

Re: S/S big block shorty headers on ebay

$104 for Stainless BB headers? I paid $145 for painted SB headers locally, and that was at a discount. Proceed with caution. That's either a deal of a lifetime, or a colassal waste of your money. Also, will they clear the frame in your truck?
What kind of return policy does this place have if they don't meet the expectation?

Re: S/S big block shorty headers on ebay

JEH, with the Sandersons, I notice the driver side collector seems to point straight down. Will this allow the pipe to bend enough to run parallel with the frame? I can't stand to see headers and pipes hanging down below truck. Thanks

I bought the angled collectors from Sanderson, with a tight mandrel bend welded to it works out nice. All my exhaust is tucked inside the frame, if you get down at ground level and look under you can't see anything....

Re: S/S big block shorty headers on ebay

That is my goal also, I don't want to see the exhaust hanging down, Jason, what did you do for trans linkage? I don't want to have to modify the linkage.

I "HAD" a 700r4 in mine, ended up being toast at around 500 miles. As far as the linkage I used the kit from Lokar, it worked out nice. I also cut 4" holes and welded in a pieces of 4" pipe in the crossmember that the trailing arms bolt to to keep the exhaust hid even more.
