69 long bed header clearance question
 

I recently bought a 69 long bed GMC that has been sitting for 5 years. it has a 400 small block with a t400 transmission. i need to replace the exhaust manifolds and have decided to go with headers instead.. SO my question is, since a lot of 350 parts will bold right on to a 400 will 350 long tubes bolt right up or will they have to be specific 400 headers and if they do have to be for a 400 will there be enough clearance to put on my engine.

i realize this mite be a dumb question but this is my first rebuild and regular parts guys around here cant answer this for me

Any header for a 350 will fit your 400
Just make shure they will fit the truck
Good luck

Check on heddman mid length headers for our old trucks.They turn down halfway down the fire wall.Full length headers hang down about 3 inches below the frame.They will drag on speedbumps.If you plan on lowering your ride the full length will be a real nightmare.
