BBC header help needed

[laplander]

I've been beating the hell out of the search function trying to find a pair of headers that are going to work on our 67. It's dropped 3.5 in the front and 6 in the rear. What are you guys having luck with? We have the ECE extreme dropped crossmember if that will help out any. It's tight and I don't want to buy two or three saets , I was hoping someone finally found a pair that worked for the lowered trucks.

I have Hedman part number 68610 headers on mine with a Porterbuilt dropmember. Drivers side fit real well, passenger side needed a little work. Let me know if you want more pics.

How low are they vs the lowest portion of the frame?

My Sandersons were designed to stay between the upper and lower flanges on the frame so the entire exhaust, with the exception of the dumps stays between the frame rails from front to back.

I have Sanderson 3/4 length for a bbc Chevelle on my RetroRod. When I bought mine years ago, they didn't make the truck headers yet.

I'm always curious on various brand headers as to what fits & does not hang below the frame. You never know when you'll come across a good deal somewhere when you know several possible options.

Having just replaced a set of big block 2x4 headers on my K30 I can tell you that the 4x4 headers are tucked up a LOT tighter. Exhaust tucks up in the frame rails nicely. The 2x4 headers have the pipes underneath the t-case crossmember and the 4x4 lets them route over the crossmember.That would be another option that I don't know if has been tried. 73-87 4x4 big block headers on a 67-72 2x4 big block truck.

I actually asked this question in the engine/drivetrain forum. I always wondered if 4x4 headers were different & if so, how.

I found some 'new in the box' 4x4 spec'd Hedmans & wondered if they'd work (I didn't want to spend the coin for the Sandersons if I didn't have to). The guy got them for an abandoned project so I can get them @ a real nice price. I actually found yet another set for even cheaper (used, super clean, 1.75" primaries x 3" collector, w/one little dent for $65) so I'm going to give them a shot first. I would guess they're car headers (2nd gen f-body or a-body) but he said he pulled them off an 82swb w/a big-block. Worth a shot for $65 as I know the f-body/a-body 3/4 length headers will work.
