87 tbi header options?

I am looking to add headers to an 87 r10. What are my options to clear the frame? I know I may need to add the o2 bung.

Re: 87 tbi header options?

A TBI engine is no different than any other small block. Any headers designed for a squarebody with a SBC will fit your truck.

Brief research indicates you may also have to switch to a heated o2 sensor.

^^ What he said ^^

Any standard replacement header for your year model range & a properly placed heated o2 sensor (the heated o2 sensor works better vs the stock non-heated).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
