Mid Length Headers

Does anyone know of any mid length headers that will fit my 74 stepside with a 350? The Headman long tube headers that are on it are dented up from dragging on my lowered truck. I would rather use mid length than block hugging shortys. I read somewhere on here the camaro headers would work??? Thanks.

Re: Mid Length Headers

2nd Gen Camaro or Chevelle 3/4 length headers work on these trucks.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Mid Length Headers

Thanks KQQL IT and SCOTI, I will check those out. I have had the 3 bolt flange collector type and have had problems with the gaskets blowing out. I thought the ball type flange would seal better.

The 'trick' I've found that works is the flanges need to be thicker. I use 3/8 thick material & build my own where possible as it's usually cheaper this route unless buying a new set of headers.
