Title: unexperienced question...
Post by: The dream on April 09, 2009, 12:12:09 pm
Hey guys,
Need help, i found these headers on craigslist, looks like a deal for 50 bucks!
It says that it is for a 350 chevy, thats what i have in my truck, its a K20 1978.
But it doesn't have more info on the headers. Does anybody recognize them? what kind they are? would they fit my truck? are they going to be an upgrade or just a headache??

I'd be really surprised if that passenger-side header didn't hit the firewall.  Keep searching for an application specific header.

Those won't work. Like event said, find the right application.

I have to agree those are definitely passenger car headers. You should be able to get a brand new pair of headers for your truck from Autozone for around $125. They won't be great but they will fit.

definitely not a good deal and won't fit. Try some shorties.
