Ok I swapped out a vortec 350 to a stock 79(ish) 454 in a 1966 C-10 w/ a th 400/12 bolt w/ 3.08's

now I need to know if there are headers made for this truck w/ a BBC in it.

Also... the 454 pulls HARD as hell

I had 300 HP w/ the 350 and the 454 just kicks the **** out of anything that the 350 had. I am wondering the HP/TQ specs of that 454. Anyone got any ideas?

I just helped a buddy with his 1970 C-10. There is a great C-10 forum thats almost as helpfull as this place. I dont have the link but do a Google search. If you cant find it send me a PM and I'll get it for you.

FYI... from 45 by little brother put it to the floor and BOILED the tires off of it!! Works for me!!!

On my old '66 SWB with a 427, I used headers for a '70-'72 C-10 w/BBC and had to dimple a tube or 2 a little. Check out the forums at www.67-72chevytrucks.com , great wealth of resources for ALL Chevy trucks ! My forum handle is the same there as here .

Were they LT/mids/Shorties???

I only use long tube headers, shorty headers aren't worth the swap to me . I used some of the cheap $125.99 Headman headers from Super Shops in 1986 .

yea I'm going w/ LT's. Shorties are what I call "slightly upgraded monifolds"
