Anyone running sandersons that run into the driverside transmission nubb... I may have to cut mine off when it's time to run the down pipes... excuise the grime

dakman · 10-31-2009, 12:20 PM

I'm hoping after I clear that I can clear the auto shift linkage... if you guys have pics of this specific area that would be great.

No offense, but that is a serious fire hazard.

I think you should double check that you have the right headers for your setup. Seems way out of whack to me.

don't worry it'll be getting a thorough cleaning then I'll track down and fix any leaks. The headers are cc10's on a 400sbc and 350 trans. From what I've read on here these are the right headers?

Jayss109 · 10-31-2009, 03:10 PM

according to their website, you need the cc3's

the 3's are the shorty block hugger style but the CC10's are actually the chevelle style that everyone uses for our trucks that are lowered, I just haven't heard of anyone having clearance issues with the trany. ECE sell the CC10's specifically for the sbc C/10 trucks.

anyone have this issue? The trans clearance on a sbc that is?

HuggerCST · 11-04-2009, 03:00 PM

I'm running Sandersons but I can't remember which ones I have. I have a 350/350 combo and yes, they are pretty close to the trans. In fact I don't think the trans would come out without removing both headers, but I used 2.25" exhaust tubing and routed it around the linkage with no problems. I built my exhaust myself using mandrel bent elbows from ebay, and straight tubing from a local exhaust shop. This is the only pic that I have handy. This is before I built the exhaust.

HuggerCST · 11-04-2009, 03:03 PM

What size collector do your headers have? Mine are 2.5".

dakman · 11-04-2009, 03:18 PM

yep... 2.5 collector.

HuggerCST · 11-04-2009, 03:28 PM

I'll try to get you some better pictures.

HuggerCST · 11-04-2009, 11:01 PM

Here's mine. I didn't use collectors, I just had the 2.25" tubing expanded to 2.5" at a local exhaust shop, then welded it straight to the bolt on collector flange.

HuggerCST · 11-04-2009, 11:03 PM

Here's a view from the top.

dakman · 11-05-2009, 11:52 AM

hey thats awsome... thanks for taking the time to take and post those pictures, they'll really help when I go to fab up the pipes!
