3/4 length headers for tucking exhaust? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Big block or small block? I am going to run Chevelle headers on my 402 with a TH400. I asked a question about the linkage a while back and was told the Chevelle headers will clear the stock linkage. The issue will be the auto crossmember because the headers will terminate right in front of the crossmember at the same height. Use a tubular crossmember and it should solve that problem. If small block, I can't help you there.
