S10 conversion header question

Believe me, I think Iv'e read every post from every forum and hadn't found an answer. Will the S10 small block conversion headers work with a block that has ANGLED Plugs?

Re: S10 conversion header question

Go to S10V8.com and search headers they show several conversion headers for angled plugs. So it’s going to depend on which headers you have.

Re: S10 conversion header question

I think you need to be clearer about what you’re asking. I’m assuming you’re talking about a sbc swap. So more info will help us steer you in the right direction.
What year of truck you have, motor and trans you’re planning on using etc,etc......

Ha
That would probably help. 350 sbc with turbo 350 in a 1950 on a 85 s15 frame. The engine and tranny are tacked in and you can see the exhaust manifold may or may not work on the drivers side.

Re: S10 conversion header question

Ok, so you and I are running same frame, motor and tranny. So by manifold are you talking about intake or exhaust?
I moved the motor to the passengers side about 3/4 of an inch to help clearance the steering.

Re: S10 conversion header question

I was talking exhaust manifold. If I move the motor over, does that cause alignment problems with the tranny not being exactly centered in the frame?

Re: S10 conversion header question

No, you just need to keep it in a straight line front to back.

Re: S10 conversion header question

Are you using those headers you posted? If so, is your steering shaft passing through the header like they do on the Patriots?

Re: S10 conversion header question

You may want to look at my build thread. I have an SBC 350 swap on an S10 Frame. I used the Hedman headers and I believe the first page of the build thread has the details.

Here is the driver's side with steering.

Re: S10 conversion header question

Thank so for the great pic. However, I need to know if the steering column passes through the other headers. The ones linked above for angled spark plugs.
