Hot Rods Headers for SB Mopar in a '46 Dodge Pickup?

Howdy folks,

I tried searching - didn't find what I was looking for (closest thread sounded like the guy ended up using 340 exhaust manifolds).

Has anyone had any luck with an off-the-shelf headers for a Small Block Mopar in a "Job Rated" era pickup? If so, which one?

We tried the Dougs I have for my '64 Dart - passenger side worked, driver side hit the frame.

Thanks!

John

 

Try calling Jegs or Summit racing and see what they offer for block hugger or shorty headers for a small block Mopar . I used stock manifolds on one I did . Had to search around to find manifolds that dumped the down pipe at the right place . Good Luck

 

or...in the old days.....fender well headers were the norm....just saying....

 

Thanks - will try talking to Jegs/Summit and local shop.
Fenderwells - I know they were de rigeur for gassers (straight axle and nose high) - do they interfere with steering on these cars? It's a little lower than stock up front, but the tires are going to be a little shorter, too (26" diameter up front).

 

i have fenderwell headers on my 41 olds with a 350 sbc they work fine. my car is low in the front and i have room.

 

The Dakota header is fairly compact and fits well in the pass car so it might be worth a look.

 

Patriot makes a nice set of shortys with center dump.. Ask Hotroddon.

 

Thanks, guys! (Been on vacation - sorry for the tardy show of appreciation - I'll check those out)

 

Managed to find someone local with a set of Hedman 79080 (for 1975-1979 Dodge D100) who let me try them - looks they will work with minor modifications for steering linkage clearance:
