GenIII w/ ECE mounts, what headers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gringoloco · 03-09-2007, 02:15 AM

Anyone figured out what fits? ECE says Sanderson is in the process of developing some...

I have a set of the 98-99 Camaro/Firebird manifolds that I know will work, but they flow like crap. Looking for a better alternative.

I'm using the 98-99, great fit, I don't care if they flow like crap

I'm not building a racecar

Street and Performance has a set of headers for the Gen III and it fits a 67-72 truck.

shifty · 03-09-2007, 01:28 PM

But will they fit with the ECE mounts? The ECE mounts are pretty beefy.

There lies the problem... May just get it going with manifolds and get the Sandersons if they ever materialize.

Has anyone gotten the A/C compressor to fit with the adapter plate style mounts? I think that would open up the header options a bit.

I could have left it in the stock position on mine, it would have cleared, but I opted to delete it for now.

S&P sells a beefy conversion plate that moves the mounts to a different position. Their headers clear that alright.

You're using ECE mounts, correct? I know it will fit no problem with them, but the S&P mounts move the engine back 3-4". This will cause fitment problems with the stock compressor mounting.

S&P also has an A/C relocation bracket, but it is $$$, and ugly.

shifty · 03-10-2007, 11:26 PM

I went with ECE and yes, it would have fit. All you gotta do is say "S&P" and it's gonna cost more money

I'm surprised they don't charge you just to print their company name at the forum

I was wondering if anyone else veiwed s/p little pricey. the catalog has so much eye candy, its hard for me to look in it because my eyes just cant focus that well any more

S&P can be pricey, but the others aren't giving it to you either. You will pay for the fit sooner or later.

Looks good, but aren't you using 'plate style' adapters? Are you running A/C?

billyjo · 03-11-2007, 08:07 PM

I'm using the S&P mounts and the compressor fits, I had to trim the bracket a bit to miss the mounting plate. I also haven't come to the part where the compressor gets hooked up but I've been keeping my eye on some fittings that look like they will work.
