I really wish someone like headman would make a 1 7/8" x 3 1/2" version of the 79030 or 79080 headers. I've even thought of buying a set just to use as a template to build a larger set.

What do you 400+ inch small block guys do? Does somebody make a big tube truck header I'm not aware of?

I haven't seen one.

Use them as the first step in a step header?

That's what I was thinking go from a 1 5/8 off the flange and step them up to 1 7/8 and then maybe run a flowmaster pulse-tech 4-2-1.

I may bite the bullet and buy a set of B body TTI's for my Rocky knowing I'm gonna have to cut and re-route a few tubes to fit the chassis. If my motor sat about 1" lower they would probably fit perfectly.

The Hedman 79030's would fit my chassis easily and have the flow advantage of a lot fewer bends than the A/B/E body headers I'm running now. I did weld a Schoenfeld 3 1/2" slip on collector on for now which I think is helping the top end.

My buddy and I were just talking about this today. He complained about the lack of big tube small block truck headers and wondered why he couldn't just use A-body big tube headers. Perhaps someone has been down this road before.

i built my own headers,they are tri-y stepped headers,1 3/4"
off the heads to 2",then 2, 2" into 3"collector,i bought the y collectors through stans headers.mine is a 340 stroker 418 in a 88 dakota. mike

Seriously, How hard could it be to take these from 1 5/8 x 3 to 1 7/8 x 3 1/2 and solve a LOT of issues for the truck market??

Hedman still makes a step header for the 72-93 trucks

Wize,
If you find/figure out something please let us know!
Bob,
Any idea of a part # for those step headers?

look up maddog.com

maddog.com? No website

Maddogs.com = Resturaunt

I couldn't find any Hedman step headers for Dodges....lots of them for Chevies though.

I could almost section/shorten a set of Shoenfeld dirt track headers and make them work by whacking about 2 1/2" between the flanges and the first 90 degree turn

i went too maddog.net,i'm sorry,i just looked at them i didn't see any smallblock stuff,they got bigblock headers,they are nice and big up to 4"collector sizees and i think 2 1/4 inch primary tube sizes,they may build em though,maybe they have too be contacted,the bb mopar headers i think were 560 bucks!sorry for leading u in the wrong direction
