No shorties for the bbc, sorry.

I'm in the process of installing a 6.0l in my '85 c-10 and was wondering if you have headers to fit the swap. Thanks for the discount.

Cody. we believe that these will fit the 73-87 chassis as well, provided your engine placement is relatively close to that of ours. Although it has not been proven, my sales guy has sold 67-72 headers that fit the chassis.

The first thing I do when I get headers is to throw away the gaskets that come with it, and use fel-pro gaskets.... Do I need to do this with the Thorley gaskets? Or are they good ones

Nope, our gaskets are top notch. They are graphite with a intergrated stainless steel mesh.

they are availble on their website^

jkaylor68gmc · 01-27-2008, 01:29 AM

Do your headers and collector use OE style donuts or gaskets?

Some do and some don't. Depends on what p/n.

The gaskets that came with the headers are GREAT

jkaylor68gmc · 01-31-2008, 02:55 AM

Cool, glad to hear it. Thanks Jon.

One other great point about this product is the way Thorley builds up the bosses on the inside of the flange then they machine it flat so your mounting surface is top notch. The flanges are also very nice

Is the set you have pictured about $340 after taking the discount? I have this thin little wallet and thick stack of bills.. but if I read correctly.. you have at least one set in chrome that should fit my 68 c-20 small block at that price -- which I would rather throw at a set of quality parts than save the $100 or so to get a set of Hookers that I'll have to hammer to fit.

Would be a fine use for my "stimulus" money if I did the math right.
