i dont think block huggers will work, due to motor mount and crossmember issues. i believe that's what you're asking about.

Adam says they work on his (pic). I was more worried about the head pipes clearing the rear bushing on the lca...corn

What is the application for those headers? Are they just the block hugger style? Do they hit? Where are they from? How much? I think that about covers it.

damn.... I never thought they would work either... More info?? Looks like changing the plugs on them would be a cinch!

They are Sanderson headers and they dont hit anything, they work great. As far as price I cant remember exactly but I seem to remember getting a "talking to" about $400 I spent ha ha. I can get a model # on them tonight if you would like.

cornfed63 thanks for the comliment

A part # would be great. That looks like it would work perfectly on my Blazer, too. Do they come with the collectors too? The plugs look a lot easier to reach than what I have now. Really looks clean.

Do those come with a y-pipe?
Do you know if the company sells a y-pipe?

I have a set of Edelbrocks and a set of Hedmans I am trying to install now.
I have a manual trans the drivers side header is real close to the linkage with the Edelbrocks. The Hedmans will not fit at all, even though their website says they will.

The Hedmans will be going back to Summits and the Edelbrocks will be going on the parts board shortly. The Edelbrocks have never been installed and are a nice kit (both headers w/ y-pipe).

If anyone knows of a header that will fit a manual trans truck let me know. I need to purchase some now. I would prefer ones with a y-pipe but I can make one, or have one made if I have to. So far these block huggers are looking like the ones I may purchase.

Any chance of getting some pictures from under the truck looking up into the engine bay? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
