396 Headers
Just wanting to know what any of you are running for headers on 396 engine in a 72 k10. My motor will be moved forward about 1 7/8 from the small block 350 location.

Re: 396 Headers
If you give up on headers, I bought these to go in a 72 that had a cracked manifold but eventually sold off that project and now have these in the parts board for sale. These fit excellent in our trucks.

Re: 396 Headers
I've seen those ,but not sure which route I want to go. I'm not afraid to notch the frame a little.

Re: 396 Headers
Yep nothing wrong with a little shave off the frame. I actually built a 70 with a 383 stroker and used a set of Hooker Super Comps. I mounted the engine all the way back as far as it would go without firewall mods. I had to do minor clearanceing to the frame to get fit.

Re: 396 Headers
Sure are pretty. If they sold for $402, I might buy them. Not. Wow, that is expensive! I guess I have gotten used to the local pick-your-part yard.

Re: 396 Headers
Is a K10 frame the same as a C10 frame? If so, use a set of Chevelle long tube headers and you can tuck the exhaust up inside the frame rails, but you will need a tubular trans crossmember and a custom or aftermarket shift linkage if you have an automatic.

I bought a set of Chinese big block Corvette manifolds to use in my short step but wound up buying Sandersons ceramic coated manifolds. Which are twice the price of those manifolds.... but I thought it was worth it.

Re: 396 Headers
I had a set of Chevelle BBC headers that came with my L34 396, didn't fit without cutting the transmission crossmember and wouldn't clear the automatic trans. linkage either, WAY over rated! Had to make a show in 72 hours so I ordered these, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I placed the order on Tuesday, delivered on Wednesday! Still on the truck and rust free! Best deal out there! Ball and socket collectors and they came with gaskets and bolts! PS. They still dont leak!

Re: 396 Headers
My plan is to rebuild a 396 out of a 69 gmc and put it in my 72 k10 and slide the motor forward so a 700r4 will bolt to the transfer case and keep it in the factory location. The exhaust manifolds on the motor now have been changed out and have plugs in them for emissions. So I just figured I'd be better off putting my money towards a set of headers and gain a little bit more H.P.

Re: 396 Headers
If you are going manifolds, try and find the RV ones with the expansion joint in the middle.

Re: 396 Headers
I have an '85 cab and chassis truck with a 454 on it that has those manifolds. I think they are listed as stainless?

Re: 396 Headers
I put hedman mid length coated headers on my 402BB. Look good, sound good and fit without any cutting. Don’t remember the number of The headers but the mufflers are Dynomax ultra-flo welded #17221. My muffler guy recommended them for a big block and he couldn’t have been more right. I found them on amazon at a descent price

Re: 396 Headers
My truck had a set of Hooker headers in the bed of the truck when I picked it up. The PO had them ceramic coated after he yanked the engine and tore it down, but then decided to not redo the engine. I completed the engine build, and those headers fit perfectly. Long tube headers that do not drop below the frame. The label is still welded on, so I will see if there is a part number there that I can forward to you.

Re: 396 Headers
My Hedman 68198 just arrived. I've unpacked them and they look great! The gasket package has a picture of a 67-72 C10 on the front!
Again, these are for a 67 Chevelle BB and according to a few other posts on this board, they do not hang below the frame once installed.
