Hello all. I hope everyone had a great holiday season. With the popularity of both the big and small block truck headers growing, i wanted to clarify a few things.

With each shipment of headers I will be including a "product specification sheet". It will simply describe the vehicle the headers were designed on as well as what I guarantee the headers to fit; the same vehicle. Simply because there is no way to guarantee fitment on anything else as specifications do vary from one vehicle to another. Notated will be "Minor adjustments may be required as these are custom designed headers built specifically to tuck up above the frame and they do require after market linkage as well as a custom exhaust system." "These headers are NOT stock replacement" .

"Clear Image Automotive absolutely does NOT guarantee a perfect fit with ANY headers we manufacture for ANY vehicle we offer products for except the specific vehicle used for product development."

This is a "disclaimer" I want everyone to be aware of. We have only had one customer experience a clearance issues to date, so no design changes are warranted or planned. Specificlly the driver side header at the lower farme area made some contact. The only difference from said vehicle to what everyone else has are the heads. He is using after market heads. Honestly I would expect the heads to be direct factory replacements but there is no other explanation at this point. The owner is going to compare the specs between the stock heads nd his aluminum heads. If there is a difference we will let you know. If there isn't a difference I, unfortunately, can not explain the fitment issue. We design every set of headers on bone stock vehicles with bone stock equipment installed. Though other after market parts may work just fine, they also may NOT work fine and some adjustments may be required.

Other than that, we still build the best friggin headers available for your trucks!

Thanks all.

funny, i was told i was the only one with an issue!

That's 2 for 2 with aluminum heads.
What's "funny" is both of you JUST received your headers and both happen to be using aluminum heads.

I've put a set of these on my 4x4 K5. Great quality header. However, these will not clear a stock 4wd engine crossmember without modification. Ultimately, I ended up modifying a DIY4X engine crossmember to make them work. FWIW, I am also running aluminum heads. Details of the mods I made can be found in my build thread (see link in my sig)

[Fldawg]

will they work with angle plug heads?

[Scott T.]

Are there any pics of the BB Stainless pics available yet. Also, what size
collectors are being used with them. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a set.
Thanks, S.T.

Just mounted my headers on the 72 402/th400. They do not fit with the stock linkage. What after market shift linkage do you run with the headers?

Thanks again,
mike chopp

[weircc]

lokar is what they are using haven't tried mine yet

[Jokers69]

We are using lokar linkage part# aca-1800

That's what I did with mine, but I'm running a small block...

[weircc]

what cross member are u running still looks like could be an issue how much room before header hits cross member 2-4-6 inches. using stock cross member and 700r4 i have like 2-3 inches before it hits

I used ECE's. It doesn't sit further back, but the design makes room for the exhaust to go over top. Looks like the BB headers are longer and go further back.
