I bought some stainless shorties for $140. A little dent in one spot and it should bolt up. Drivers side is pretty much In place. I'll be back with photos for the
passenger
It says you have a 99 . do you know the part # and where did you buy them. what motor mounts did you use and have you got stock cab mounts? Thanks

Anyone tried these Patriot Clippster Headers H8433-B on an 86 4x4 by chance?

If it don't fit, We'll make it!
Hey! Was wondering if anyone had any word on a possible set for a 351C swap, if not I can weld up my own possibly

If you have anything other than a 302, your out of luck. Even some of the 302 offerings can sketchy fitment wise, also the more power you make the slimmer the offerings get. Once you need more than a 1 5/8 primary tube your s o l.

Always bite off more than you can chew!! :)
Hey Greenie, I went with Sanderson shorties, although I went with a K member for the rack and pinion steering to get rid of that bothersome steering box, which really screws up everything!! Constructed a 2" x 3" tube frame from the cab forward. It certainly wasn't in my build plans but after many measurements and try fits with the "C" block I really couldn't see any other way to git er done. And happy I did so, it gave me more options than I expected. Good luck with your build, my 351/408C is a gas to drive! :yahoo:

My guess is no. I am placing a 351C into a 91 as another current project, and seems that running just stock exhaust manifolds is enough of a challenge for these trucks. I am sure making your own will be the best bet or going to a custom shop for something exotic. cheers and happy hunting/building. if you do get a set that works, please post up a pic or two, would love to see what you do. ps, is your front frame boxed in for more strength? added room problem there also.
