big block shorty headers? and manual tranny ques - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

thinkin about swapping a big block into the c10...who makes some nice shorty headers thatll fill the truck?

also, will a muncie or super t10 shifter location clear a bench seat? im gettin bored w/ the whole auto thing. im guessing the truck wont be too hard on the tranny since itll probably never hook up.

shorty headers won't work, they dump right into the engine mount.....
hooker makes truck headers........
install a b&m mega shifter...floor mount....cool

Sanderson makes 3/4 length Chevelle Headers. That is what I am going to use on mine.

I've got the BB3 sandersons for the chevelle & from what I see on my set-up they won't work w/the clutch linkage (z-bar) pivot from engine to frame since the collector is right there.

Not sure about that Part SCOTI, I am going to use hydraulic.
