Title: Block Hugger Headers vs Traditional Long Tube Headers?
Post by: Mike Phillips on May 30, 2009, 08:35:20 pm

Block Hugger Headers vs Traditional Long Tube Headers?

I need to get a set of good quality headers and was wondering if anyone has any opinions or experiences with fit and function of block hugger headers on a big block in a 1975 era Jimmy or Blazer?

Any drawbacks or benefits to block hugger style headers?


Thanks!


Mike

I use Sanderson 3/4 length Chevelle headers on my truck because they don't hang low.  Depending on the motor and your truck being a 4x4, you may have issues with off the shelf long tubes.
