I had a set on a 66 I used to have. They worked fine, just had the exhaust shop make head pipes to clear everything.

northern 85 · 12-16-2008, 10:13 PM

Here's some from around 99 right after it was taken off the road.

I have a set for my '64.
came on my '65 Vette 327.
Ran awesome with the double humpers.
That is now going to power the truck.

protrash64 · 12-17-2008, 12:20 AM

My 'burb has them on it; PO installed. They fit and I have the 700r4 also. There are no clearance issues anywhere that I can think of at the moment. I even rewired my starter solenoid from the hood side!

northern 85 · 12-17-2008, 06:28 AM

Thanks guys, noone with pictures?

I'll get some pics today of mine. Its going to be on a 4x4 though, with a 700 r4.

MacAttack · 12-17-2008, 11:44 AM

Here's the 283 with my exhaust - are these what you're talking about? This motor's from a 65' Chevelle - going in a 65' C-10 and according to all the measurements I've made this intallation looks like a breeze.

protrash64 · 12-17-2008, 02:02 PM

Heres some pics of mine installed in truck.....hard to see but thats kinda the point, lots of space for other stuff. On passenger side you can see the pipe running straight back below the heater fan housing

marshtric · 12-17-2008, 02:37 PM

I had to ditch the original exhaust manifolds for two reasons: first they were smog busters and had the air injectors in them and second the passenger side manifold exited into the firewall.

northern 85 · 12-17-2008, 10:29 PM

Thanks guys looks like we might be ordering a set from the speedway cat

northern 85 · 12-19-2008, 06:38 AM

59.99 from speedway. Sound like a good deal?

I think those are cast in China.

If I was buying aftermarket, I'd get these. They just look so much better.

protrash64 · 12-19-2008, 01:49 PM

Hey Rogue, if they're cast in China they're probably a crushed up American car anyway

northern 85 · 12-20-2008, 10:10 AM

Mac your setup looks great,was it bought as a kit? Hardware?

Hoffman65burb · 12-20-2008, 03:37 PM

northern 85 · 12-20-2008, 03:48 PM

Headers are what we have, looking to tone her down some

Oklahoma · 12-20-2008, 05:25 PM

Here are the ones on my truck, I have had them on for about 2 years, and i love them, no leaks...

northern 85 · 12-20-2008, 05:37 PM

Looks like one dumps straight down and the other angeled back?

msgross · 12-20-2008, 05:42 PM
