Headers with manual tranny

[Swearingsailor6]

Hey guys, I did a search and saw mostly 2wd trucks with headers, so I want to ask, what are some options on going with headsrs on my K10 Scottsdale 4x4w/350ci? I am doing a manual tranny/3/4 ton running gear swap and need some that will clear...I haven't done the swap, but is there any clearance issues I will encounter with a manual clutch??

I can do a search on google, but Im looking for tried and true headers(long tubes) that people have used. I don't want some that hang down to far, and will clear my t-case crossmember.

Since I'm doing a thread, what are some good lift kits out there that won't kill my budget?? Since Im swapping axles anyways, might as well throw a lift on too. I did a search and it seems the lifts have gone way up in price....I want to keep my rear leaves for hauling, so blocks in the back are ok, but I want to do full leaves in the front. Something big enough to squeeze these 36's under there with out rubbing. Also need shocks too.

Thanks guys

i have hooker compitition headers on my truck and they fit great. the only thing that rubs is the clutch spring but that can easily be relocated. it wasnt a hard install either. and mine clears everything but the front driveshaft is pretty close to the passenger side header.

edit: and by the way its the same thing as yours and already has the manual tranny in it

Thank you for the response. I will be checking them out!

and i also did dynomax bullets right after and they tucked nice above that crossmember just have to get a peice of tubing bent to clear the transer case

how much did you pay for your headers?

They're Hooker part number 2453. They fit my truck great (but I have an hydraulic clutch).

Edit: when I take them off to have them sandblasted, I'm going to put a couple small dings in the primaries just so I can get a wrench on the bolts a little easier, but other than that, they're great headers. I bought them new, so they probably cost me about $160.

yeah they run me about that from summit. the only pain is reaching the bolts with a wrench or socket

you have a 4x4!!!! Just about ANYTHING will clear!

[Swearingsailor6]

Yes I realize they will clear (the ground) but I do some offroading and I don't want them to be the lowest point on the bottom of my truck! The last thing I want to happend is one of them gets ripped off or bent beyond repair.

Thanks for the help guys!!

yeah I see your point there. I'm running ceramic coated 3/4 chevelle headers...
