    I have a 72 GMC with a 6.0L and a 4L80E behind it. Im trying to find a header that might fit. Anyone else tried? I bought a used set of 98-02 f-body Mac 3/4 length headers thinking they might work. The left side hits the frame rail and rubs the bellhousing area. I could make it work with some work. The right side hits the frame, engine stand, and hits the bellhousing/ trans area. Cant see a way to make it work without cutting it up. I have never attempted to build a header and would prefer to buy some, but dont wont to spend a arm and a leg. Can a normal small block header be made to work by changing the flange and spreading the center tubes? Anyone have this combo with something that fits?

    You might contact Street and Performance and see what they have. They have G-body headers from a Grand National that work in the 88-98 trucks. Surely they have something for the older body style. Their website is www.hotrodlane.cc if you want to check them out.

    Thanks Redheartbeat. I was hoping for a cheaper alternative.

    My buddy just bought a set of Hooker long tubes for his 90 with an LT1 and they were $450 uncoated. $550 for a set of coated custom built headers is a pretty decent price.
