)sorry for another header question) but im dead in the water with my truck unable to drive as im in need of headers.

i have an '82 shortbed factory 6 cylinder with a 350 sbc in it now with the factory 3 speed with granny low. long tube headers i got now hit the ground basically ( 1/2 inch away)

i need to find some headers like mid or shorty headers on a pinch that will clear my clutch linkage.
i have yet to find anyone that has experienced this situation or anyone that knows which will fit.

only few ive found are 300$+ eek.

any and all input would be GREAT. im stranded lol

make your headers fit.

raise them that 1/2 inch, and remake the tube that interferes with the clutch.

google clipster headers, they are a mid length that should work also.

laslty get rid of the clutch linkage and do hydraulic clutch.

there is 3 options.
