Re: Help with Headers
If you search you might find similar questions in this forum with answers.
I'm using an old set of "cheapie" Blackjack's removed from a 73 K10 back in '96 or so. They fit surprisingly well. Hmm... I might be running 1-1/2" tubes though. |

Re: Help with Headers
Are you running stock suspension? Steering box in frame?
If so your limited on space and will need a set that simulates the ram horn location and the rear exhaust port on the driver side may still hit the steering shaft. Googled a photo of ram horns. |

Re: Help with Headers
I'm running these Patriot Clipsters from Jegs on a stock frame (, but with a Fatman IFS, 383 SBC and 4L60 trans. Steering shaft is a straight shot.

I bought these ram horns after trying a pair of block huggers that wouldn't fit. Heck, 2 1/2" ram horns probably flow as well or better anyway. |

Re: Help with Headers
Oh, you mean I'm going to have to hook the steering column up to the rack someday?
![]() In the meantime I'll get out there today, mount a piece of broomstick and show how it's going to fit. Stay tuned...
