Need help finding headers for 85 manual tranny C10

Hi ya'll, i recently bought a set of FlowTech long tube headers for my 85 c10 but ran into a little problem. The slave cylinder looks like it might get in the way. Ive searched but couldnt find a good thread on it. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I know shorty headers would work but i'd really like a set of longtubes .

Thanks in advance
Ben

You could dimple the header a tiny bit around the slave cylinder or maybe heat it and bend it away just depends your clearances.

I don't know if this will work but someone suggested these for me when I was searching for headers. Suggested from the coloradok5 forum. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/he...0/media/images

thanks for the reply silvereagle, i think these might actually fit, the only thing that makes me wonder is the fact that it says that clutch linkage might have to be modified? does that only apply to cable clutch systems or what?? mine's hydrolic

i also found these hooker headers that might work as well

I dont think you will have a problem since its hydraulic, mine is a c20 but has no clearance issues with headers and the slave cylinder
