Re: haeders
I have a set of Hookers on my '65 with a small block.. they are full length with 2.5" collectors rather than the normal 3" collector.
I am fixing to pull my engine for a re-ring and bearing job and will either install some ramhorns or Hedman hedders. I found the only way to get the Hookers to seal were by cutting the head flanges and using Fel-Pro gaskets exclusively. |

Re: haeders
I run a set of Hooker 2452 headers. Had to do some clearancing for clutch and at least one plug...what else is new. They haven't leaked even once in 5+ years, best headers I've ever had.

Re: haeders
Didn't have to do any cutting on the full length bigblock headers in my K10. I don't remember the name of the headers but call http://www.summitracing.com and tell them what you have and they will head you in the right direction.

Re: haeders
Am running Sanderson block huggers and had to cut the side off the driver side motor mount. Just a small amount for clearance, didn't have to remove, just used a torch. When I replaced the engine just dressed it up a little before reinstalling. I had Hedman regulars and didn't like them dragging all the time, since I have a 4/6 lowered truck.

Re: haeders
Sanderson Headers 3/4 length. This particular header was designed to fit lowered 67 - 72 trucks and therefore no mods are necessary. For gaskets I use Permatex Ultra Copper.
esll.

I'm running an auto tranny. I purchased my Sanderson's through ECE and there tech line is very helpful as I really don't know about a manual trans. They do not specify auto only. I can tell you that these are the nicest headers that I have ever owned and they cured my scrapping problem that I had with my long tubes esll.

Hi there Kris, The Sanderson headers [ECE's part #11 - 6572] were $379.00 bucks. Let me say though they are quality from the get go. I have two phone #s .... 1.) Order line - 888 - 777 - 0395 2.) Tech line - 559 - 299 - 1611 I hope this helps. These #s will get you in touch with ECE who is a dealer for Sanderson and their price is better then going direct to Sanderson. esll.

Re: haeders
When I had longtubes I had starter problems as well. I went to a heat shield [metal[ and it solved my problems. I left it on my starter when I changed to my 3/4 length headers.
esll.
