Is that directly underneath? If so, I'm going to say yes.

Ran my Hedmans that dump quite aways forward from where yours do, and made the y-pipe bend up and over the driveshaft. I *thought* I had enough clearance (front shaft doesn't compress much, right??) and the driveshaft went ahead and clearanced the pipe quite a bit for me first time out. It would have been interesting hitting a beefy flange.

Only question is that pipe to closed to the drive shaft? Guess I'll find out the hard way

I am guessing that you are talking about the manifolds? They weren't in that post. I still have them, I believe that they cleared my ORD engine mounts, but I didn't try the factory clam shell ones. I went with Sanderson center dump which won't clear factory mounts.
I don't find a pic of the manifolds right now.

Dorman makes some like the ones in the pic, might not change anything if these work out well

Yup I saw that Dorman made them, mine are GM parts.

I don't think it's directly below but it's close I will check when I get home

I was going to mention GM used ram horns on some trucks and cars on the drivers side that had the angled outlets rather than straight down (as most GM's had up until '72),but I was not aware they had an angled version for the passenger side--all the ram horns I had were the straight dump type on both sides I think.....those angled ones might work,the pipe may need a bend in it to miss the crossmember ..

thats what i was thinking , if these headers dont work ill find out cause im tired of messing with headers

 

[Blue85]

Well there in and dam they look good

No hammering, pry-bars or swearing? Can you get a socket on all the plugs?

 

[Kain]

Can after screwing the plugs in and yes had to dent a tube and notch the frame and a motor mount

 

[Kain]

HELL yes i swore. the hookers i took out slide into place. these fought tooth and nail

 

[Kain]

My advice SAVE YOUR MONEY GET THE NAME BRAND AND SAVE THE TIME IT TOOK TO GET EM IN

The Chinese mid length ones fit fine, long tubes bring the suck on a 4wd squarebody, there are very few that work at all.

 

[Kain]

maybe it was cause it was a blazer and not c10?

long tubes often have clearance issues with the shackles and/or the front driveshaft which are eliminated with a mid or shorty style header. Mine also cleared the engine mounts fine, the frame also clears fine on a K frame per other user reviews I read before purchasing.

ok, learn something new every day

They turned blue.... Kinda cool
