So if i am wanting to run side pipes wouldn't the Don Hardy headers work best since they kick out toward the side?

LS based engine headers in a monza = :cuss: :bang:

Then I got adventurous and built my own for about $350. They are a royal pain to install (engine must come out), but plug changes are easy

Sanderson's confusing number system explained for gen 1 sbc headers. Basically, the passenger side header changes for angle plug heads.

V6-Vortec 4.3 into a First Generation H-body info...There seems to be no "out of the box" header set that will fit. Stock S-10 4.3 Vortec exhaust manifolds WILL fit. A video exists up on "Ewe tube" (sic) that shows the dyno readings comparing stock manifolds to long and short header pipes that is highly informative.

any recommendation for sbc street car '73 vega, with vortec heads? when I looked on the Sanderson site, I did not see a header for this application? I must be wrong about this. Would I be better off to modify a pair of S10 headers? thanks for the info. Chuck

CC13’s work if you ding the #5 tube, but they do make a Vortec version with extra clearance for the #5 plug.
they are listed on v8monza.com or call Sanderson.
