    I am putting a 305 in my pickup pretty soon and trying to get all my parts together. I was wondering if someone might know the best headers to use as far as fitting and clearing using the stock steering set up. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Do yourself a BIG favor and move the engine/transmission over to the right side at least a inch ... more is even better.

    Hadn't dropped the motor in yet so I can still offset as needed. Sounds like it definitely needs to be. Thanks for the heads up and any more help and I will check that other forum, thanks again.

    Thanks for the link to the A.D. Truckers group. I joined the group looks really informative.

    Does anyone know what headers would fit a 51 Chevy Pickup Small Block Chevy 350 conversion? I have moved the original steering box to the side approx 1 inch. I have not moved the engine and was trying not to.

    Thanks, Mark51
