What headers will fit my big block 70???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well guys it's time to get some headers for my 70 chevy pickup after dropping in my 454. I'm looking for some suggestions. First of all my motor combo is 9.3:1 comression, pocket ported oval heads, comp 282S cam, polished edlebrock dual plane intake with qjet carb. I am running a 3 spd column shift saginaw and I'm looking for a set of big block headers for my truck that will require NO GRINDING of the frame or relocation of any accessories. The headers should be a direct bolt-on with no exceptions. Price isn't a factor as long as I don't have to do any heating, bending, or denting of tubes. I'm concerned about having the column shift linkage rods being in the way and putting in a floor shifter isn't what I'm ready to do yet. Thanks for anything ahead of time guys.

Hey fellow Minnesotan! I have read several times here that Dynomax headers part #86022 does the job of fitting well. I have not done it myself, though. They are full length headers. I think the part number is for the ceramic-coated version.

Sanderson makes a set of block hugger headers for our trucks. I have not used the BB version, but I am running the SB version and they are one of the best things I have bought for my truck. No more leaks, and I stopped dragging my full length headers. Here is the address to the catalog: http://www.sandersonheaders.com/make...vypickupmm.htm
