Swap header for a 71 Chevy truck??
I have a 5.3 in my 71 chevy truck. I tried using 98 f body manifolds. The drivers side fits great but not the passenger side. Are there any swap headers or shorty truck headers that will work??? I have stock 71 chevy frame stands and mounts with trans dapt swap plates. Thanks!

You should check with Schoenfeld, I bought some for my 95 silverado LSX swap. http://www.schoenfeldheaders.com/LS1-TRUCK.htm I know yours is a 71 model but they might sell them, worth a shot to call them up.

I used a set of the cheapo f-body stainless headers on mine. All the pimaries cleared fine, I did pie cut the collectors and bend them in/reweld to get the to clear the framerails. I am using stock frame mounts with the trans dapt plates as well.

For long tube headers Doug Thorley all the way, they were developed with help from some guys from 67-72chevytrucks.com specifically for these swaps. I've seen alot of pics and they fit like butter!
For stock, use TBSS manifolds. I have a set of GTO manifolds that appear to fit, and I've heard C6 might fit too. But the TBSS are cheap and fit well.
