S10 headers won't work.

[fredscarryall]

Ordered 88 to 95 truck header unfinished off ebay for $100 shipped

Pictures from killbillet show passanger side fits without modification

[fredscarryall]

Killbillet had to modify the drivers side. He took about 3/4 inch out of each tube to get the header closer to the block. Thats why I oredered them unfinished.I get the headers next week. So I'm giving it a shot.

Another angle. Anyone doing an S10 frame swap should check out the killbillet site.

I was able to get my S10 headers to work but it was a pain in the ass and a balancing act getting the column at just the right height and angle. It's still really tight. If I had to do it over again I would have gone with some block hungers or modified headers like above. It think that's a better solution.

it looks like a couple things are making your steering harder than most

1. looks like your body is mounted to the frame slightly lower than most
2. looks like your engine is mounted slightly higher than most.
3. it looks like you have taken a really steep angle with the column

all of these things combined are probably the root of your difficulties. I wouldnt suggest you go to that steep of an angle with the factory joint on the steering shaft either, get a borgeson u joint and replace it, in fact get two and replace the rag joint at the box too if you are still using it.

truck is looking awesomo, having the blower fit under the hood is great!
