headers with a 3spd - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cadiman67 · 12-17-2008, 08:19 PM

i've been searching the forum for this answer, and can't find it.
i have a 67 c10 swb fleetside, originally a 6cyl w/ a 3spd on the column, it is now a 327 and has been converted to a floor shift, i would like to install a magnaflow exhaust system and want to know what headers would work with the least modification, i would prefer long tube, but whatever works.
someone here in town has a set of flowtechs that are supposed to fit this truck, but he doesn't know the model #
i just found this forum today, and i haven't been able to stop reading it yet.
i'll post pics of the truck as soon as i can.

We had to modify the clutch bellcrank to clear the cheapee Summit headers.

I too have been searching to no avail. I even called Summit and they dont list any (longtubes) for a man. trans. truck. I have Blackjacks (old) on now and need some with large O.D. ...Looks like its Hammer time again.

my 78 has a 350 with a 3 speed and flowtech longtube headers and they fit fine, its still column shift though.

i called jegs and they said the 30055 jegs long tube headers should fit with no major modification

I used block huggers with out any issues... couldnt use longtubes because of ground clearance.

This is no help ,but the 70 we have had long tube headers .I don't know the brand cheap i'm sure . They fit great ,but the z bar fit in between the tubes .Had to remove it to remove headers on driver side .

well, i ordered the jegs headers and they wen't in with no problems at all, i only had to remove z-bar and dipstick tube for installation. now i'm working on the 2.5" magnaflow x-pipe system. i hope this kit sounds half as good as it looks. has anyone installed one of these on a swb w/coil spring rear suspension. the kit's instructions are quite vague and the pics are worse.
any insight would be great.
