kevhill85 · 07-06-2003, 10:03 PM

what header fit r trucks . i want a shorty header . my truck is drop 4/5 . i know a f-body fits but not sure what years . i want to go buy a set this weekend unless someone has set for sale .

TIMSPEED · 07-06-2003, 10:11 PM

Actually, it's a G body header, not an F-body header. I'll let someone else chime in here, who actually has that Header. (Ryan, or someone else...)

kevhill85 · 07-06-2003, 10:12 PM

ok thanks . that why i wanted to check before i order lol

gchemist · 07-06-2003, 10:21 PM

The shorty header you are looking for is for a SB Chevelle. 64-87 shorty if I remember correctly.

SCOTI · 07-07-2003, 05:22 PM

A 3/4 length header for chevelles fits between & doesn't hang below truck framerails. Big blocks are the same as well (I'm using Sanderson BB3's, which are 3/4 length for Chevelles).

These will be better than manifolds, but will fall short of full equal length headers for the guy searching for max performance.

apstguy · 07-08-2003, 04:22 PM

Edlebrock started making shorty headers for our trucks recently.

78chevstepside · 07-08-2003, 04:56 PM

i have a 4 /6 drop on my 78 with full lenghth hedmen headers . no problem with clearance. Well you want to slow down on speed bumps.

SCOTI · 07-08-2003, 05:03 PM

Get some pics of those full length headmans in relation to the bottom of the frame rail.

78chevstepside · 07-09-2003, 06:01 PM

With a 4/6 drop 4" in the front i got 4" of ground clearance with full length headers. The top of the collector sits right with the bottom of the framerail. I also have collector flange stiffners for added support(( for grounding out and sealing). I recomend flange stiffners and alumunuim gaskets . I also like a crossover h -pipe with flanges for easy tranny and exhaust removel ( balances flow and improves lowend torque). hedmen headers are usually the cheapest on the market. I never had a problem with them.

C&C Chevy · 07-09-2003, 06:14 PM

Scoti, can you get some pics of those headers.

kevhill85 · 07-09-2003, 08:13 PM

i have a h-pipe in it now . 3" exh with flows on it

SCOTI · 07-09-2003, 11:19 PM

I'll try & bring the digi cam home tomorrow. There's no freakin' way full length's would fit under my crap. The bottom of the header better be even w/the bottom of my framerail or it will be a quick, certain death.

What do you guys . . .... oh never mind, I'll start a new thread.

low 84 · 07-09-2003, 11:41 PM

kevin if you have a jegs catalogue, look at the dynomax ceramic coated headers, then look at part number 289-86118, this is the shorty myslef and others are using, it fits perfiect.

C&C Chevy · 07-10-2003, 06:15 PM

Could someone please post some pics of the Chevelle headers in our trucks?

Summit has them for $230.

**Captkaos** · 07-15-2003, 12:04 PM

SCOTI, I have the Sanderson Headers for my BBC too. http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/images/sandersonhdrs.jpg

SCOTI · 07-15-2003, 12:47 PM

Pretty. Mine are just bare since they don't recommend them to be coated during initial engine start-up. I'll get them coated eventually.

**Captkaos** · 07-15-2003, 12:51 PM

I have a spare set of "break-in" headers for that.
