I rebuilt it and need to know what headers would match up to this engine and fit on the truck. I am looking on eBay, and there is nothing for 305, so what about 350 sbc headers?? Would those fit just fine?? Thanks all,

PS: There is nothing wrong with buying and selling on eBay, you just have to be eBay smart, and know what/what not to buy!!

I know they cost a lot more, but they cut down on heat radiation in the engine compartment, which means you get more power and the engine runs cooler, also the cab is cooler. The coating also prevents rust, which means your headers will last a lot longer. Spend more now, pay a lot less later. You can buy new headers and have them coated, but it is a lot less money to buy ones coated by the manufacturer.

ChevyAsylum/Ray is correct as most headers will fit the 305/350 interchangeably. There are a couple of different set-up modes, either the earlier "ram's head" or "rear dump". Look in your truck and examine the path the exhaust will take past the steering components on the drivers' side to try and figure out what will work in your truck with the new engine. When setting up, I used an scrap block to test fit where the headers would go. in you C-series truck, there should be lots of room. BTW, the motor mounts from the Nova should work too.
You should be able to find GM headers to both types in the nearby scrap yards if cost is a factor. You would save shipping compared to ebay. Did the Nova have some? | | |
