Who sells a good header for a 1974 4x4 with a 4 speed transmission and a big inch big block?

I used big block 73-87 2wd headers on my 74 with a 4 speed they fit excellent but they do hang down a bit lower than they need to but its not a problem.

Are you having any issues with the oil filter clearance? And is your truck the 4x4 in your avator?

Yes they are on the truck in my avator. The only clearance problem is the collector is right beside the leaf spring-shackle bolt. It hits when the motor torques. Other than that that they fit perfectly. Lots of clearance for plug wires and oil filter. I have had 2 sets of headers on this truck and they were both the 2wd headers and both fit the same. I can get some pictures of the fitment if you want.

Re: Headers For A 74 4x4 Big Block 4 speed

I had a set of headers on this truck but can't find them.The exhaust is set up for a small block and a big block.It has 4 flanges instead of 2 and a short section of pipe.
I was running a 400 in it and also a 454 and I had to run down to the muffler shop so many times I had the guy build me a pair of pipes.
I tried looking them up online and couldn't find much for a 4x4 with a 4speed.I appreciate your help.
