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

Andrew68c10 · 12-29-2005, 04:39 PM

Does anyone know the part # for the Chevelle shorty headers that will work for our trucks with a small block? I think it's the Dynomax # 86118?

Putter · 12-29-2005, 05:17 PM

86118 is correct (I think). Isn't that also for early camaro?

*FormerMember* · 12-29-2005, 05:24 PM

It's really for a bunch of cars...

Also fits a bunch of other large cars like 65-81:

* BEL AIR,
* BISCAYNE,
* BROOKWOOD,
* CAMARO,
* CAPRICE,
* CHEVELLE,
* CHEVY II,
* EL CAMINO,
* IMPALA,
* KINGSWOOD,
* MALIBU,
* MONTE CARLO,
* NOVA,
* TOWNSMAN

do they fit wouthout changing the pipes?

wibilly · 12-29-2005, 08:11 PM

i don't think they will fit a 4x4 but should fit 2 wheel ok

yank · 12-29-2005, 08:20 PM

I have the 86118's on my truck. You will probably have to bend some new pipes to get them to fit your present exhaust. I'll be having a custom exhaust put on Saturday.

70c10 · 12-30-2005, 04:42 PM

Yank- I can't wait to see your truck finished!

yank · 12-30-2005, 07:42 PM

Its getting closer everyday. Getting the exhaust put on in the morning, get a windshield in it and get the front end aligned and it will be road worhty.....I hope.

gringoloco · 12-31-2005, 12:50 AM

Why are so many people using this header? Why not use an application specific header made for our trucks? Not flamin', just curious...

yank · 12-31-2005, 01:17 AM

I wanted my entire exhaust tucked up in between the frame rails.

72MARIO · 12-31-2005, 12:55 PM

wanted the exhaust tucked up. I am using heddman chevelle shortys they will not clear the stock motor mounts. I am using a after market set by North West Auto fab.

I also did not like the small 1 1/2" primarys and 2 1/2 collector avaible with the Dynomax. They are fine for a stock motor.

The Heddmans have a 1 5/8" to 3" They allow my motor to breath a little better. They also have ball flanges which eliminates the possibility of ever having to change gaskets if they do come loose just tighten them up.

72str8flush · 12-31-2005, 02:07 PM

Which Heddman's are you talking about mario? Part # or where they can be found?

72MARIO · 12-31-2005, 02:43 PM

I think they are 68600 chevelle camaro etc shortys summit racing has them and any local speed shop can get em.

speedracer · 01-03-2006, 07:37 PM

I am also running with the hedman elites had to fab some new motors mounts but it looks great!!

do ya think they would clear if the motor (a v8 327) is in the 6 cyd slot ?

speedracer · 01-03-2006, 08:03 PM

the v8 mounts hit the primary tubes on the forward most cylinders

**tnblazerk5** · 01-03-2006, 08:35 PM

but i think i am also runnin the 6banger towers too with a 327

this is 6cyd towers arent they ?

speedracer · 01-03-2006, 10:18 PM

my towers look just like that

**tnblazerk5** · 01-04-2006, 10:21 AM

so mine arent 6 banger towers ?

speedracer · 01-04-2006, 12:48 PM

never had a six banger in a truck not 100% on the difference

72MARIO · 01-04-2006, 01:27 PM

They look like 6cyl towers to me. You might get lucky and they could clear.

roughedup72 · 01-04-2006, 08:04 PM

So what did you hve to do to get them to work? I like the idea of having the ball flange and am wanting to put on some headers real soon. I dont want to have to fabricate anything seeing as how I'm limited to tools, and space.

Bowtie67 · 01-04-2006, 08:08 PM

Have you looked at the ones that Petronix sells, Doug's Headers makes a 3/4 legth header simular to the chevelle headers.

72MARIO · 01-05-2006, 01:36 AM

I bought a set of motor mounts from North West Auto Fab.. They cleared the tubes that were hitting the old 8 cyl mounts. They also moved the motor back beteen where the 8 sit's and where the 8 would sit in the 6 position. Which could be a pain if your not doing a drive line rebuild. I am sure I could have grinded the stock mounts out to clear but I wanted everything to look a certian way on this truck. If it was a driver I think I would have had the grinder in there really fast and made them fit..

I would get the set if you motor is in the 6 cyl position and try them out. Buy the hedders local that way if they are too hard to get to fit you can take them back.

72MARIO · 01-05-2006, 01:44 AM

Also check out Sanderson they make some really good headers
