Cool Stock Heads / Headers ?'s

I have a question regarding the stock heads on my 69 c10 (stock 350 two barrel crab). I am getting ready to remove my factory exhaust and put on a set of headers and new exhaust.

So when I bought the truck it came with a set of headers that I would like to put on, the port is circular. I haven’t pulled the stock exhaust manifold, circular match up with the head?
Thank you,
Mike

I'm not sure if its a round or oval port. Pull the exhaust manifolds off and see. I'm sure someone here knows the answer

Re: Stock Heads / Headers ?'s

Maybe i'm wrong on the terminology, but they are rectangular shaped. Both heads and exhaust manifolds. I just went out in my garage and looked, as the engine is out. I can post pics of any of it, if need be.

Correction, they are more oval shaped with flat sides of course. I need a course in geometry i guess.

Re: Stock Heads / Headers ?'s

leftybass209, that would help. i am being very cost conscious, want to insure i have everything before i pull / in case i need to pull out and repair my commuter car or the wife's fam truck. i should note, i am a dad with Twins that are 2! this is already a great start, they love the truck. it was our Christmas car (wife is a photog)

Re: Stock Heads / Headers ?'s

leftybass209, thank you for the pic.

When i noticed that they weren't round i thought the engine might have been swapped. Here is a pick of the old exhaust manifold and the headers i was... going to use. Any suggestions on a good low priced header (thinking full length)?

I think most headers will look the same.

Re: Stock Heads / Headers ?'s

If you're going to headers,don't go cheap.The cheaper headers ingeneral have a thinner flange(the part that mates to the head) and usually have sealing problems.The thicker flanges help a lot with that.Also use the copper gaskets,they seem to last much better.

Re: Stock Heads / Headers ?'s

You don't wanna stick with the stock manifolds? They seal much better and supposedly flow pretty good

Re: Stock Heads / Headers ?'s

I think Sanderson is suppose to be a good brand. Some other guys may know more than me. I just had new exhaust put on but kept the stock manifolds. Like he said above make sure and get ones with thick flanges at least 1/4 to 3/8 thick
