SHORTY HEADERS. Help pick some out

[Crank]

Alright. Well I've had a thread on finding a set of SHORTY Headers for my K5, and my C10 needs a pair soon. I'm looking for a good set of SHORTY headers to clear everything, that I wont have to modify. I want shorties, because I dont wanna fight the ground for room on the headers. I want my 2wd to be low, and my 4wd to not have anything hanging down below the frame. I was wondering if I posted some pictures of headers, of the kind I'm looking to get if anyone would be able to tell if they'd hit. The first two pictures look like they'd miss the motor mounts, and that's my biggest concern, it looks like i have plenty of room between the frame and motor. Just needs to clear the motor mount. Please help me pick a set. Thanks fellas

Just posted some info on this thread.

I am almost sure that a Hedman 69648 will fit without any modifications but they only have 1-1/2" 'primary tubes.

Im also looking for some shorty headers does anyone know if the hedman 69646 headers will work on a stock head 350 ...

What about the eldelbrock that LMC sells, their the shorty w/ emmission connections.

Im smog excempt..dont need the tube ..

[bigblock73]

I have Sandersons, love the quality and fit. VERY thick flanges too.

[Crank]

Smog exempt here as well. Dont E check in KY. But The first 2 pictures I posted looks like they'll clear the motor mount... Anyone think so too? I love the look of the Sanderson headers too, but I am looking for a coated set for about 200. They sell for like 180 on ebay, it's just a matter of finding some that fit. keep the comments coming fellas.

I agree, the first two sets look like they should clear the motor mounts without any problem. Depending on how high you want your exhaust (especially on your lowered truck) they may be a little long to get the exhaust tucked into the frame.

These are the headers from your post:




These are the headers I bought:




From the pictures, it looks like the headers I purchased are quite a bit shorter than the ones you found and I will be using a fairly tight mandrel bend at the collector to tuck the exhaust beside the frame.

Here is a picture of where the flange fits on the driver's side.

I put Edelbrock shotys on my 91 Silverado and you can get them with no smog tube. I got the ones with the ceramic coating and it stands up real well. The mounting for your truck should not be any different. Plenty of room for spark plugs, also.

I'd be wary of buying $200 ceramic coated headers on Ebay. Sounds awfully cheap. Just my $0.02

they are for his blazer right? i also would wonder to the quality of ceramic coated headers on ebay but you might be suprised.

I used 3/4 length headers for a chevelle on mine. Worked great! I got them from summit, they are dynomax blackjack's cant remember the part #, but I have posted it quite a few times here.

Who is using angle plug heads.. w/ the headers? anyone purchase those stainless headers off of ebay? for up to 1984 year? I'm running a 2wd '86 w/ a 383.

[boatpuller]

here ya go crank.. and anybody else.second pic shows how there tucked up under everything.only bad thing about them is they make the rest of the engine look bad,i've been throwin money in there since these pics with some chrome parts but it's a slow spendy show.

Hey Boatpuller thanks for the pictures. That is exactly what I'm looking for a header that doesnt hang so low below the frame. I'm gettin rid of my Blazer so i'll be able to focus on the C-10. Thanks man, preciate it.
