header question

[tree_bashed_sammy]

im doin a sbc swap in my yota and got the motor out of a 90 sub. and i was told i need to run block hugger headers so i bought some and they dont fit they hit the motor and wont line up so to anyone who has did the swap what headers did u run or what headers will work? maybe i just ended up with junk new headers i dunno. thanks david

Mini truck? I don't know what guys like to use if it is a mini truck... I know the majority of guys putting sbc's in Landcruisers use the Ram horn stlye oem mainifolds...

I had a sb 307 in my 80 yota pu back in the day, and I had to use stock manifolds. May have to do a custom set?? My biggest problem was keepin it cool. There wasn't hardly any room between the radiator and the water pump bolts. If only I knew then what I know now. Brings back memories of searching junkyards for center sections to replace the ones I sheared the teeth off of. It was a beast though.

This....
Easiest way. Put the motor in and build the headers to fit. Will save you money in the long run. No buying of headers to only find out they dont fit and have to send them back to get another set and find out they dont fit either....:)

Cast Iron center dump ramhorn corvette manifolds. I've never had a problem with them, however it does require that you ditch the conversion engine mounts and make youre own, or use a Jeep conversion mount (what I did) from Novak

yea center dump is what i have and the drivers side hits the motor mount and the passenger side hits some sensor or something in the bottom of the block i dont even no what it is i gotta find a rear dump i guess
i like them headers but im sure they was a pretty penny

I got the super shorty centerdumps on mine.. little lower profile then the standard block huggers. Ur welcome to borrow them for a test fit if u need. There's a pic on my build thread

They were about $600 for material and labor...
