Just looking for some feedback on them......

Thanks

I believe that is the popular header most everyone runs on here.

Strut · 02-09-2010, 08:20 AM

Which set is most popular... Any Pictures?

Hottrucks · 02-09-2010, 09:08 AM

keep in mind how low you are full length heads wear funny if your to low..I have a post about the 88 to 95 3/4 header to keep it above the frame rail..so far no feed back??

DT1 · 02-09-2010, 11:00 AM

It might just be me but most of them look like they aren't tuned. Is this something that should be considered? I'm thinking about putting a set on my 350. I've never had headers on any vehicle because I prefer stock but I think, in this case, I'm going to trim my engine up for just a bit more performance.

ANTHONY67 · 02-09-2010, 11:04 AM

I have a pair they work very well.

These are Sanderson BB-4 blockhuggers. On my 67 Stepside they tuck up between the frame rails so nothing is hanging down and they did not require much in terms of cutting to fit. On the passenger side I needed to put a small oval notch in the upper part of the frame rail but it was only 3/8 inches deep and 2 inches long. If this motor was anything other than a 572 that would not have been required but the heads are very far apart on this tall deck block. They also required relocating the oil filter which I did.

I'm running em on a zz4 (block huggers) and they work great. thick flanges. I run copper gaskets& no problems. Pat

HuggerCST · 02-09-2010, 11:23 AM

I've got Sandersons on my '70, and I really like them. The head flange is very thick, (3/8") so there is no need for a gasket at the head, (high heat silicone only)and the collector is 2.5", so I just welded the exhaust pipe directly to a bolt on collector flange, eliminating the need for a reducer/collector. I also like the fact that they don't hang down below the frame, but they do hug the trans pretty tight, and I don't think that I could remove the trans without removing the headers first. I'm not sure what the part number is, but I think mine were made for early 90's chevy trucks.

I did say it was relocated.

Mr. Fitz, Professor Spoof must point out that the tag line about "intra-personal" problems and explosives suggests that one is intending to blow ones self up. To blow up other individuals, the usual source of one's misanthropy would be the result of "inter-personal" problems. Class dismissed.

Oh yeah, I have the block huggers. There collecting nothing but dust right now in the basement. The Zoomies are cool!

BP68 · 02-09-2010, 09:24 PM

Check out my build thread. I have a set of the mid lengths on mine, and they fit and look (ceramic coated) way better that the long tube headmans I had.

byrd · 02-09-2010, 09:50 PM

I have these and yet to be installed, they look to fit almost like the ramshorns

zammer · 02-17-2010, 03:06 AM

I just got a set of CC 10 headers for my 71 2wd blazer from ECE and they don't with fit my 4 speed manual trans linkage Z bar. I have to do some mods to where the Z bar is pivoted from. Anyone else have this problem?

heres what they look like on the passenger side so far..
