Again, these are for a 67 Chevelle BB and according to a few other posts on this board, they do not hang below the frame once installed.

Need to make clear. The "Chevelle" headers will not fit our trucks with column shift automatic transmissions, nor will they clear the factory auto-trans cross members. They may look great laying on the floor but lets not mislead the unknowing into thinking those are a simple bolt on and go header. Modification or an aftermarket cross member is required as well as a cable operated shifter to allow clearance. Chevelle headers are highly over rated in my opinion when mid-length options are available..."Just sayin" ~Ghostrider~

Right!

I made the assumption that anybody willing to spend this much money on a set of these headers is going to do the research up front to ensure they're gonna work. Much like I did.

Maybe that's a bad assumption. It's a good clarification though and one that is spot on.

These headers, 68198 Hedman, require mods on the C10 to fit ( Auto tranny shift linkage and crossmember ).

Hth,

Did you get your Headman headers on yet?

[weq92f]

Not yet, the heads are off still. Just got them back from rebuild. Have a car show to make in about 4 weeks though

Gotta install new cam/lifters, heads then measure for push rods, order them and then put it all back together from there, including the headers.

I've got the cable shifter ( column shift but cable driven to tranny ) and aftermarket crossmember, so it should go without hitch.

I'm running a set of these on my 454 in my K10. Engine crossmember is moved up to the next set of holes. No clearance issues
