BB shorty headers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know if there is a cheaper brand of BB shorty headers other than the Elites. I have seen some shorties for around $100 but only in SB. The headers I have are full length and hang down too low.(not sure what they are for bought them at swap meet) Had to dimple them at the lower a frame nut to fit on driver side but other than that they fit good except hang down too low.
Thanks, Bo

I've heard Chevelle (second generation) headers fit. They are full length and sit a couple of inches up. I hope this is true because I bought a set for my big block.

This is why I need new headers. Does anybody else with a BB have thier headers hang down this low or is it just my swap meet headers that fit God only knows?

Holy chit! I dont know what those headers are for, but not the truck

You can probably order any full lenght header that you choose for the truck........&probably wont see all of the collector hanging below the rails.

those are some low headers they look like something that goes on upside down on a boat,or dragster!

I did buy them from a guy that had a rail. That's probaly what they go on. Does anyone have a pic of BB headers on a lowered truck other than shortys.
