Re: Headers for 600 hp bagged 69 c-10
mine has been on the road over a year and they look like they did when I got them except dull, due to the heat.

Re: Headers for 600 hp bagged 69 c-10

Thank for all the info

Re: Headers for 600 hp bagged 69 c-10
....any idea how they fit with a 3" "z"?... I'm thinkin the "z" should help "tuck" the headers up into the frame more?

Re: Headers for 600 hp bagged 69 c-10
you may have to go to mid-length headers. getting long tubes in and keeping them up above the bottom of the frame rails is going to be tough...unless they are custom made for the app.

judging from the pic it does look to be sitting kinda high, the intake is almost as high as the cowl!...a truck intake on there prob wouldn't fit under the hood.
