Re: Header Advice
The Clifford Research headers on my 292 L6 in the '68 C/10 Stepside were first mounted in that truck in 1978. They are on their second engine.
I did have a shop modify the head mating flange to a 3/8'' width -- voiding the lifetime warranty. When the down tube from #5 cylinder was crushed during some agressive off roading -- doing search and rescue -- they also welded on a section of straight pipe -- patching over the cut out of the damaged section. The mechanic said they could get me a fresh set of headers under Clifford's warranty, but as it was my Daily Driver, and only rig, I couldn't afford the downtime. [That was in the late Eighties.] I have only ever spraypainted them with VHT Cast Iron Gray, periodically.
