Looking for Headers for 4.3L V6 85 El Camino

kfickler · 08-27-2007, 12:29 PM

Looks like most manufactuers have quit producing (if they ever did) headers for the V6 Monte/El Camino. Does anybody have a set hidden under the bench?

Thanks

Consider having Billy Nees build you a set. He's a master at building headers, particularly for odd combinations.

Thanks Michael. We were looking for a quick fix for Indy - I think we found some 2wd S10 headers that might work.

Ebay has two sets for sale of Hooker P/N 2143 headers for your application:

There is always the Edelbrock tubular exhaust setup, not a true full length header, but they do fit well.
