383 Longtube Headers That Fit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MySons68C20** · 02-02-2023, 05:28 PM

So I'm upgrading the 383 to AFR 195cc Street Eliminator heads, different cam and 1 3/4" long tube headers.
I know this subject has been beat to death but need input on what has actually worked for others.
I want spark plug access without having to remove the header and the ability to use something other than a shorty sparkplug like the Accels I have to use now on my 1 5/8" Heddmans.
The other consideration is how low they hang below the frame....I would like high as possible of course!
This is for the C20 shown in my sig.
Thank you.

I used the Hooker 2452? I think. Sbc 68C10 long bed—slid in from the top with Manual tranny. They are long tube 1 5/8”

Here are a couple of threads that I documented on that subject.
