Running a Chevy 350 and looking for race type long tube headers that will fit inbetween frame rails on a '64 c10 with no cutting. I have no clutch linkage to worry about and have Vortech heads. (Spark plug clearance?) Thanks!

I know I put a set of Hooker headers on a 63 I built back in about '89 that seemed to fit good if I remember correctly. It had a small block "not very stock" 400 in it. It seems like I just ordered what the catalog said would fit. Those are fairly common headers since those pickups came with small blocks in them. Do Vortech heads have a different exhaust port configuration than the earlier small block heads?

I've been eyeballing hookers at Jegs. They do list them for the '64, but my experience is that the manufacturer doesn't always give out info such as if the headers won't clear the frame rails. I'll give them a call. Thanks!

Hooker Comp series on mine, fit well-I had to grind maybe 1/8" or so off the driver's frame rail in one spot-the header cleared but I wanted some extra wiggle room.
