Rusty Jeep Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Hi, I'm currently in the middle of swapping a chevy 350 into my comanche and one big issue i ran into is exhaust headers don't fit. I bought a set of block huggers thinking they would be tight enough but there not they hit the frame and steering shaft. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experince with this issue and if you have what you found works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 do they have headers specific to the conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Jeep Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 ive seen that i just find it hard to drop 300 to 500 dollars on a set of headers. i was wondering if you know of anywhere that sells compatible ones with a smaller price tag or am i stuck with the novak ones?

Pete M Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 there are several chevy v8 swaps in the Epic Tech section if you want to skim the threads for what they used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche SS Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Use good photos of what the shape of Novak headers are to buy some no name ones that are identical. I did that for my LS and ended up getting a set that worked for $88 dollarsSent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
