SS GT S-10 headers

Dragsinger · 08-09-2014, 06:53 PM

Racers,

I am underway with the buildup. The combination is 327/300/293. This will be a "B" class truck.

Truck and much of the chassis needs in house. Engine parts being gathered.

So, about the headers. If you know someone racing an S-10 I need header feedback.

Thanks,

Lemons Headers has them. Pricey, but apparently good quality. I think you'll need the headers to setup the engine location though (at least that's what I gather from the website).

Wayne, I have run Lemons on other cars and the fit is excellent, I will follow up. I also noted the engine location footnote and agree it would be wise to have headers bolted on before finalizing the motor plate tabs.

Larry… Check out Hedman part #'s 65854,65855,65856,65857 they are well constructed and cost effective. Maurice.

Maurice,

Thanks, I like value and will follow up.

Maurice,

With the fender well style what is the clearance situation with front tire?

MAURICE BLENDHEIM · 08-10-2014, 07:34 PM

Larry…The different part #'s represent primary tube dimensions and steps as well as collector diameters. They are also compatible with port plates and fully tig welded with removable collectors. MB.

With the engine in the correct position, things should work out (26-27" tire). What front tire diameter were you planning? Drop spindles? Ride height? These are all a determining factor. MB.

front tire size is flexible, it will depend on available room. So far, I see photos of the Hedman and Lemon designs.

I like the under car exit of the Lemons. The Hedman would need some extensions to direct the exhaust rearward. They would stir too much Texas dirt if pointed downward
