Sanderson makes,in my opinion,the very best headers for our Y block powered trucks.They are not cheap.They don't even need a gasket,just black RTV silicone.Red's headers makes em,so does Patriot sold through Summit Racing.Steve.

Plenty! Some of the headers listed are shorty and some are long tube and both will work great!

Plenty.Sanderson,as well as Red's,and Patriot make them in different styles for the Y block.I believe the ones that fit trucks, Sanderson calls them block- huggers.They fit well.I've had mine a couple years now with no problems or leaks.I used Por 15's manifold paint,which has only held up fair.Wish I'd had the money for the ceramic coated ones,about an extra 200.00 or so.You can check out their website.Steve.
