I am not sure. I know people have tried s10 in the frame headers. On in the frame rails the engine mounts, and the torsion bars are a problem. I don't think the steering is as much a problem... Angle plugs will kill some of the ready made headers.
Others will pop in. I would think fenderwell headers would have to clear the steering, brake booster, and those things...

Headers,
I have been using hooker headers and motor mounts for ten years.
Good product.

The problem with the Hooker stuff is it is no longer made. Some one in another post months ago said "Jegs or Summit bought the last 5 sets that Hooker had... I don't remember which one bought them.

Sorry....

I wish some could duplicate them.!
The mounts should be fairly easy.. The headers would be a *bitch*

It must be Jegs. I don't see them listed on the Summit any longer.

I have a set of v-8 lancruiser headers on my truck, had to relocate the brake master to use them,and it short turns to the right....but you don't need to turn right much drag racing :)
