[U]Headers Installed[U]

Today installed Headman long tube headers 1 5/8 size stainless steel, ceramic coated by local shop. Would have purchased 1 3/4 tube size, however, not available in SS. Will provide number soon. They installed really easy, just held in-place for now. Also, exit is above the bottom of frame rails! A few photos ( engine in photos is a mess with stuff non related all over it) of headers below. Also today adjusted the TC and transmission linkages. Re Plumed the fuel pump inlet line ( as mentioned before very tight area, if using a higher performance pump).

Starting to plan dual exhaust, first decision is collector diameter and length ( diameter calculation is tube-1 5/8 times street factor-1.68 gives diameter for hot street engine, about 2.75” diameter).

Note: Last photo included to show Headman 1 3/4” tube headers, 350 roller block engine, also 1986 chevy truck, C10, short bed step side w/ LY6 4 speed over drive trans.
