Long tube headers
 

Anyone using long tube style headers and if so what brand and did you have any clearance issues with the install....

Re: Long tube headers
 

There are quite a few threads with recommendations for Header brands and part numbers for various fitment on these trucks.

My notes from researching BB headers on this forum:

C10 truck headers too low, headers for chevelle are just right ( no rub on a-arm )
clam shell motor mounts need mods to fit these with BBC ( use tubular or notch clam-shell mounts )
o Hedman Elites for a Chevelle Part number for the Hedman Elite Chevelle headers is 68198. My engine is a BB chevy
o Im running hooker chevelle full length headers #2455. I have a bbc and running POL'S tubular engine and tranny mount.
o see pictures of clamshell motormount mods: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=584177
o hooker super comp long tubes are working fine for me. they sit even with the lower frame rail.
O Here's the Hedman 69170 BBC headers. I'm running POL aftermarket mounts.
summary of part suggestions
hedman 68198 chevelle headers

I put the SummitRacing brand ceramic coated long tube headers on the 350 in my C10. I had a small issue with the passenger header touching the motor mount. They also hang below the frame rails a bit, but I haven't seen any long tube headers that don't do that.

I bought Flowtech cermamic coated long tubes for a sbc c10, they were scratch and dent and I scratched and dented them where the already were. #1 tube rubs the motor mount, my factory fuel, return and vent line stuck out of the frame just behind motor mount and 1 of them rubbed there too, and they hang low. Like obvious through the wheel well. But They installed with only removing the spark plugs. Pass from the top down, and I think we did drivers side from bottom up. No leaks, look good.

I have headman long tube ceramic headers, fit great, but I will probably be replacing them soon, as they hang below the frame and if I want to drop the additional 2.5" I'm going to need headers that I can tuck up even with the frame rails.
