The chevelle/g-body SBC/BBC headers will work in trucks. I'd bet some LS spec headers might be pretty close too.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

If they are a name brand header sell them if they don't fit.If its a cheap brand you could heat and beat them tell they fit.
