Need help with HEADERS

I have a 72 4x4 blazer. It has a mid 70's 350 small block, with a 4spd manual tranny. I am looking for a set of headers (ceramic coated) that are not that long.....like hanging below the frame...some that tuck up ...but also a good pair. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Need help with HEADERS

Yes, the Hedmen Elite is what I ran and they tuck up nice and high. I had to move the frame side of the Z-bar towards the firewall about 1". Easy as drilling a hole and moving the ball stud mount.
With the Elite series the flanges are nice and thick wich keeps them from warping.

I just finished installing mine. I had no problems. The fit is perfect.

Re: Need help with HEADERS

Yup. Heddmans. When I did headers on mine eons ago, they were the only ones I could find that would work with the manual trans. You might be able to run Corvette full length headers as they are really close to the same size. BUT, I ditched mine for the 2 1/2" rams horns, and that would be my suggestion to you if you haven't spent the money yet. With the Crane 266 cam in mine, it is pretty much done by 4500 rpm. The full 2 1/2" exhaust with manifolds pulls just as hard or harder than the header exhaust did. And it is much quieter. And not leak prone.
