Hedman Headers

[sidthirteen]

I saw a pair of Hedman headers on car-stuff.com for a pretty good price. I was wondering if anybody has installed these type of headers(#HF5668600) in our 60-66 trucks. I'm planning on dropping my ride some more in the future and would like to make sure that there's plenty of ground clearance. thanks in advance.........Sid.

I just got a set of (part #69260) and was told that they would work. I hope to install my new 350 this weekend and will let you know. I'll also post pictures so that you can check for ground clearance.

This fella used the 69260 that drogers mentioned, on his '64 fleetside.

He has pictures of the headers, here:

I used Headmans 69090 on my 350 but I don't have a cab on the frame, so pics might not do you any good.

i installed the midlengths (68618,for bbc), and i had to grind the frame on the passenger side and the motor mount on the drivers side. i believe you can only use a mini starter , due to clearance issues

It's ok. Not the best maybe 2" ? I could be wrong. I'll take some pictures and measure. I sprayed mine with ceramic coating. I am hoping that by coating them it will keep the heat down. If I have problems with my starter i'll just make a heat shield.

Sounds good.... thanks!! I've never used that style headers before but seemed like they might work. I took a look at the engine and drivetrain section and saw a thread about that style headers for 67-72 chevelle but they were for big blocks. Like I said, I found that style for small blocks just wonderin' if anybody has had any experiences with them.. Thanks alot guys for all your help and input. Any more input would be a great help.... thanks again..... Sid
