I have a 350 and I really rigged it in my Chevy Luv so here's the question....... I really don't know how I would get headers in there due to me hard mounting my motor in somewhat like this...
Image
I have the motor welded with some cylinder spacers but this is the closest picture that I have to show how tight it will be until I get another actual picture tomorrow. So I was wondering if I should try exhaust manifolds for this. Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of manifold I should get? If you need more pictures, I'll get some tomorrow.

You should be able to use block hugger headers. I used patriot block huggers on mine, most other brands will fit too.

depends on the exhaust manifold. I have seen them on Luv trucks. Depends on the engine mounts, engine location, torsion bars and all kinds of stuff. Get friendly with your local junk yard man. He might let you take some home and give them a try. They should be almost free.

Do you have any specific link I could look at? Right now I have no idea where to even start so a link to what you're headers look like would be greatly appreciated. Also if you think others will fit, please post the links too.

I still have my ceramic coated ones if anyone is interested. 50 plus shipping. Still look good and not beat up at all. Just a few scuffs.

This may be a stupid question, but what parts do you hook up to the bottom of the collectors if it has a 3 bolt flange on them? My best guess is a turndown or a spout but I can't find nothing about them.

Normally if you are running a standard exhaust you would connect these to the rest of the pipes but you can get mufflers that bolt up or turn downs also.

if i remember right i think I still have the pipe and flange still there with the bend in it. Guess it would depend on your mount if it will work but it just has a gasket that goes between it. will see if I still have it.

So have you had any time to get some pictures? Also it might near the end of this month before I get anything done and get me a paycheck so you might have to wait a while before I can buy them.
