R U running a Caddy, Sanderson headers?
I'm curious if any of you guys running a 500 Caddy or equivalent are running Sanderson block hugger headers? I'm wondering if the cross member would interfere with these.

Re: R U running a Caddy, Sanderson headers?
I imagine it's the same deal whether small block,big block,Caddy,or any other V8 with a center dump vs crossmember location. I never ran them and thought they would only work on a 4wd,since that's how the factory manifolds are. But I have Sanderson block huggers for my '67 project (327) I bought from a member who said he had them bolted up on his 2wd. I'm still not sure about them,but I also have a 4wd and the price was right.
So basically,sorry I can't help you ...Let's see what turns up

Re: R U running a Caddy, Sanderson headers?
From what I've gathered up and figured out for my truck which is a 69 c10 with a 500 caddy, is that if I wanted to run headers that stay inside the frame rails, I'd have to run the headers you have listed or these ones:
http://www.sandersonheaders.com/Sand...El-Camino.html Now from the measurements I have done could be different than your application as far as how you installed the motor. The way I installed mine is I didn't do any mods to any of the cross members excluding the cross member for the transmission. In order for me to do it how I did it is I used rubber spacers between the motor mounts and the motor itself resulting in the motor sitting higher than where a big block would sit. But all in all, my best advice would be to take the measurements from the website and use cardboard tubes to create the headers themselves and see if they will work or not. |

I don't have the engine installed yet. But I can get the headers for a little better price plus free shipping if I buy before the end of the month. So no way to take good measurements.
