Shorty Headers into a '71 Blazer?

[johnnywagon]

I'm going to be building a new crossmember under the trans near the front leaf spring shackles to deal with major frame tweaking (thats another story/thread) but in order to do this I will need to swap the standard full length headers for shorties. I dont think that the basic Camaro/Chevelle shorty headers will work, maybe late 80's early 90's truck headers? Anyone have any input?

Thanks!

I would just use Ramhorn exahust manfolds instead of shortys.
I don't know the answer you seek...just my opinion on a Friday is all you get hehehe

I mounted some 2/3 length Thorleys that were on my 73 longbed and they work perfect. Originally bought for the 73. After looking at the pics, might bee too long for you?

Thanks for the input & pictures. The pictures really show the area Im going to have to deal with. Still just an idea, I'll let you know when & what I do.
