1964-1972 2WD Truck LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Long Tube Headers
Taking on an LS engine swap in a classic 1964-1972 2WD Chevrolet truck demands headers that clear the factory frame rails and sustain efficient exhaust scavenging. These 1964-1972 2WD Truck LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Long Tube Headers feature precisely bent 1-7/8 inch primaries that run snug to the block, reducing turbulence and improving flow to the V-band collector. A ceramic coating keeps underhood temperatures in check and protects against corrosion, while heavy 3/8 inch flanges deliver a reliable seal for years of use.
Optimized 1-7/8 Inch Primaries for Improved Exhaust Scavenging
The precisely bent 1-7/8 inch tubes maintain uniform length to balance exhaust pulses across the LS V8, enhancing scavenging and boosting midrange torque. By routing each primary snugly along the block's contours, turbulence is minimized and flow velocity stays consistent. This geometry translates to more efficient cylinder evacuation at higher rpm, improving throttle response and horsepower delivery. Fitment is straightforward, with clearance for factory frame rails on 1964-1972 2WD trucks and compatibility with common LS swap hardware.
Ceramic Coating for Thermal Management and Corrosion Resistance
The industrial grade ceramic finish locks heat inside the exhaust stream, accelerating gas velocity and improving scavenging efficiency. Underhood temperatures remain lower, protecting wiring harnesses, intake manifolds and firewall insulation during spirited drives and daily cruising. This coating also stands up to corrosive road salts and moisture, preventing rust and pitting over time. Owners will appreciate consistent performance and easier maintenance as the protective barrier retains its integrity through repeated heat cycles.
Robust Steel Construction with Precision Flanges and V Band Collector
Crafted from mild steel, these long tubes strike a balance between strength and weight to withstand thermal cycling without cracking. The 3/8 inch thick flanges resist warping at high temperatures, delivering a leak free seal against the cylinder head for stable backpressure control. A machined V band collector clamp simplifies integration with aftermarket exhaust systems while ensuring a secure connection under vibration. Expert welds maintain alignment and structural integrity, providing years of dependable operation in classic truck applications.
Engineered for precise fitment and reliable performance in classic Chevrolet 2WD trucks.
