Headers with column shift? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ncsurveyor · 05-26-2020, 03:37 PM

All the ls swap kits I’m finding say the headers won’t work with a column shift. Is there a solution to this other than a floor shift? I’m know there are trucks out there with column shifts and headers. Will shorty headers work? I really don’t want to do a floor shift. FYI:
68 stepside swapping a 6.2 L94 and 4L60 into it.

I'm running the Speed Engineering long tube headers and have the column shift auto. Lokar linkage with no issues.

I would repost this on the LS swap section you may get more responses.

I bent the shift bracket over to clear the header on mine
