I finally had a chance to pick up my new Headers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1987 Shortwide · 05-01-2006, 08:26 PM

I picked them up this sunday, promptly took them to my brother's (where the truck is currently residing) and ran into some massive problems... No matter what I try, they'll only fit one way, with the collectors facing forward toward the front of the truck

Is there something wrong here?

**N2TRUX** · 05-01-2006, 09:12 PM

Flip em from side to side and run them up through the hood like a pulling truck. Are you sure your motor's not in backwards?

Sorry bro I know it ain't funny, but you have to admit it's ....uh....funny...

71chevytruckguy · 05-01-2006, 09:16 PM

that's no good. what kinda headers. got any pics? chris.

r0lf- · 05-01-2006, 09:20 PM

I hate you I hate you I hate you!

We need pics!

I have been seriously contemplating a 355 + boost. But it would be kinda silly since I wouldnt be able to run it anywhere. Bags + strips = no go

1987 Shortwide · 05-01-2006, 09:48 PM

I'll try to get my brother to snap some shots and email them... this really sucks

They were like 500$ not even painted and they don't fit like any headers I've ever seen. I don't know how I'm gonna make them work

why do you say that,i am pretty sure they would let you run it down here

SCOTI · 05-01-2006, 10:05 PM

Going the opposite way w/exhaust is good when you hook-em to a hairdryer

.

1987 Shortwide · 05-01-2006, 10:09 PM

Silly rabbit, hairdryer's are for beauty salons.

Pics in a few....

Nobody believed Steven did they??

If you did, I would either edit your post or blame your significant other for typing it.

Pics you tease!

EDIT: 'bout time (you added them as I typed my original reply)

1987 Shortwide · 05-01-2006, 10:37 PM

You can bet the cab is going on asap when I have some time, because there's a box of 3" J-bends comin my way and I'm itchin to make a crossover and get some hairdryer mountin' goin on!

bigblock73 · 05-02-2006, 12:20 AM

Is the cab dolly all finished?

1987 Shortwide · 05-02-2006, 06:12 AM

all but the tilt function. It is rolling and mobil.

**Captkaos** · 05-02-2006, 05:33 PM

Looking SWEET Steve!

81shavedtrk · 05-13-2006, 11:36 PM

you need to get that cab on that frame asap. I need to borrow the dolly

. my rolling chassis is just about done.

ocbaud · 05-14-2006, 02:13 AM

that thing is gonna be SO bad ass!

81shavedtrk · 05-14-2006, 11:00 AM

You need to hurry up so we can race when we are both done. Should be an interesting race to say the least.

70GMC396 · 05-15-2006, 10:26 PM

Then I suppose it's a good thing looks can be decieving huh?

Russell · 05-16-2006, 02:07 AM

Where does the power steering pump go?

bigblock73 · 05-16-2006, 06:48 AM

I don't think he will be running PS

1987 Shortwide · 05-16-2006, 08:58 AM

Psh... I plan on going to fast to worry about turning quickly. When driving normally, ya just gotta strong-arm it.

The only accesory it gets is the alternator, and that's just because I don't want to charge the system between passes, and I want to drive it on the street.

70GMC396 · 05-16-2006, 10:45 PM

What about reverse turbos to spin the engine backwards? Maybe if you could flip the dizzy upside down, too? Hmmm...really big air horns on the collectors...or a doorless fridge on its side sitting on the hood...now, that would be ram air!
