headers on k10 3sp column shift? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have 71 k10 with sb350 and 3 speed column shift. Would like to know if anyone else has this set up with headers or knows what would fit. I have a set of really short sanderson headers that work would like a long tube set though.

What ever works for a 4spd will work for you. That's a good question,what header w/manual transmission?

I know with the 3 speed i have 2 shifting rods coming through the firewall that block from any rearward headers then like a pivot for the clutch between the 5 and 7 cylinders. Ive had a set of hooker shorty block huggers but they came down to far and the collector hit the motor mount. The headers i have now the end cylinders come straight to the center with 90 degree bend down they are no taller than 4 inches. They work fine just cracked now and would like to replace with long tube headers.
