I,d say chevelle 3/4 ,better safe than sorry,might want to go lower in the future

I had these on my 67 C-10 and they hung about 4" below the bottom of the stock oil pan. They never drug but it was not much below stock ride height.

The also fit my 78 K20 with some minor mods to the collector area on the passenger side to clear the spring hanger better.

Those look pretty nice and look to be pretty close in depth to what i have so it shouldn't hang down too low. That ball & socket collector is really nice too.

Its like 3" from the road. Didnt measure the drop cut two coils. The pan was a mistake they said 8qts i assumed 7 in the pan 1 in the filter... Oops

Also i know for fact these fit too but o thought Dbmx66 wanted full length. "Patriot Exhaust H8021-1 - Patriot Clippster Headers"

The front end is stock, minus the coils being cut, no lowering spindles?
Oil pan is a beauty though
