Tall deck BBC header help

[53chevy]

Im looking at dropping a tall deck big block chevy in my truck. Im having a hard time finding headers for it. Id assume there is a difference with the standard and tall deck headers? Thank you

I have just used normal headers with no issues Hooker super comps

 

[53chevy]

I didnt know if the height difference would effect it. I was thinking of a 2.25" primary tube to get the flow i need.

 

[sweetk30]

.4 inch taller deck hight if I recall.

just bolt on a set of good ones .

and what the hell you need 2.25" primary tubes for ?

A forged 540/632 isnt much more than a forged 454....

What kind of truck, 53 like your user name, square body or..?

With 5.13's I guess you're going with a 38"+ tire?

Sounds like a cool build. Any header for BBC will work but have you considered just building a kit? Not many setups in that primary size. Could give kooks a call.

Well im almost at the point of mating the xcase and transmission. I did find some "truck pulling " headers that are the correct size and for our square bodies. Ill be running a 39.5x18 to a 46" tire.
