found longtubes that tuck in frame sbc

[dmartin1]

Just a post to share the headers i bought for my 68 c10 with a 4/6 drop.

i have a sbc. automatic. 4/6 drop ece kit.

I found hat flowtechs 31100flt or 1100flt(non ceramic coated) fit well and clear everything as well as nearly tuck right into the frame.
I have about 1/2 inch or less hanging below Enough you could problly shim the engine up a hair and clear the frame almost completely.

With a static dropped truck these look to be great choice maybe bagged with modifications.


i got the ceramic coated on ebay for 170$. they were the "scratch and dent". they just had a little scratch on the very bottom.
They have the black painted for quite cheap.

they hit right on the factory bell crank auto shift linkge, so fabrication or a lokar kit is needed.


Figured it may help someone on the hunt. i will upload pictures when i get some uploaded.

I just put a new set on mine last weekend. I do like the way they fit and don't hang down too low. I tried the shortie headers but had too many problems too count.

I think I have Flowtech long tubes on my truck, too. I bought the Summit Racing brand, and I heard those or just rebranded Flowtechs. The still hang below the frame, but not as low as the Hedmans I had on there before. They cleared everything in the engine bay when I installed them, but the passenger side header sits very close to the motor mount. Haven't driven the truck yet so I don't know if that will be an issue, but the truck idles and revs in park without the headers touching the mount.

This is very interesting. Please post photos when you can, this might be just what I was looking for.

I would also like to see pics if possible. I'm going to be looking for a set for the girlfriend's truck soon. working on the 4/6 drop now.

I'm in the process of curing the paint on my new headers. I painted them with Hi Temp Black before I put them on, and I'd like to keep them from turning Rust Red over night.

I will post pics in the morning. I tightened driverside down completely, and did find them rubbing the control arm a little bit. I did some massaging and they are cloae now bit fit fine. I could have shimmed my mounts as well but didnt think about it until after the fact.
I would say if you dont mind slight massaging these fit pretty decent.the non ceramic ate cheap,too.

Passenger side. close but it does clear.went in easy from the top.

I will get driver side pictures soon.


I have these exact headera on my square body and tuck in frame as well with no rubbing anywhere. Very well option for a 73-87
