Header choices for 65 4x4
Looking to replace headers on 65. Have uncoated ugly now. Have coated on my K5 and want to go the same. Vendors don't show listing for 65 4x4. I'm sure these are long tube now,10.25 inch from end of flange to end of collector. I have no x member for engine mounts and have mini starter so ample room. Anyone know of tried and true brand, part #? Any help/input appreciated,Thanks

Re: Header choices for 65 4x4
currently on my 64 k10 with the 383 sbc and stock sm420 trans, I've got these sanderson block huggers:
https://www.sandersonheaders.com/san...ab-description I've had plenty of problems with the collector flanges, and after finding they cracked after roughly 5 years, I cut them off and welded tubes downward to solve that. however there were other cracks formed all over the place... so I did the same searches on the 60-66 forum which in their faq has plenty of header choice posts... based on those posts, I settled on Hedman long tube #69090 https://www.hedman.com/product-detail/69090 *** note: I have not installed them yet .. but from previous posts, they'll work without 'too much hassle' ... which was the best endorsement I could find |

I have Doug Thorleys probably 25 years old on my k20 put on with new motor. Thick wall nickle plated.
Never leaked, never rusted, never had to retighten any bolts Great headers |

I guess that's why DT's are (at least from what I've seen thus far) the most expensive headers ever... you get what you pay for... lets see a pic of these 25 year old headers! |

Not nickle plate ( I wish) but ceramic or jet hot. Still silver. No rust. |
