Long tube headers for a '51 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jweb** · 12-15-2015, 04:29 PM

Has anyone been able to fit long tube headers in a 47-53? If so which ones

I have a 51 with a LS1/4L60 out of an '04 GTO and would really like to use long headers when I get new exhaust.

No. Tried Camaro and GTO. They either were too wide in the rails or the collector was in the wrong position

Gave up and am building some - driver's side tacked up, waitng for mandrel bends to do the pax side

That looks good.

Did you start with a certain type of headers and modify them or build from scratch?

I'm thinking about finding something close and modifying.

I already have some Hooker block huggers that fit. I would just like Long tube headers if possible.

I need to get new exhaust and only want to once. Don't want to take it in until it stops raining, which will be a few months. So just researching some options

Motor they go on is a LM4 from a Trailblazer (but not an SS) Built from scratch

There's a few more details here-
