LS Ceramic Coated Mid-Length Headers for 1964-1972 2WD Trucks
Whether you are retrofitting a classic Chevrolet 2WD truck with an LS swap or fine tuning exhaust flow these 1964-1972 2WD Truck LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Headers are built to deliver reliable performance in tough conditions. Constructed from polished stainless steel tubing with 3/8 inch thick flanges the 1.875 inch primaries promote efficient scavenging and help maintain a crisp throttle response under load. The ceramic barrier coating cuts down underhood temperatures and shields against corrosion for long service life. Precision machined flanges align with factory mounting points to ensure a leak tight seal without repeated gasket adjustments.
Optimized Exhaust Scavenging with 1 7/8 inch Tubing
By increasing the primary tube diameter to 1 7/8 inches, these headers enhance exhaust scavenging and minimize backpressure for noticeable power gains. Larger tubes allow exhaust gases to flow more freely, translating into sharper throttle response and stronger midrange torque. The uniform diameter across all cylinders also balances pulse timing, resulting in smoother power delivery throughout the RPM band. Enthusiasts upgrading their LS swap will feel the difference in both acceleration and overall engine responsiveness.
Ceramic Barrier Coating Ensuring Consistent Thermal Management
The silver ceramic barrier coating reflects radiant heat away from the engine bay, helping to maintain lower underhood temperatures during extended driving or towing. Reduced heat soak protects nearby wiring, hoses, and intake components, preserving performance under demanding conditions. The coating's smooth finish resists corrosion and soot buildup, simplifying maintenance and extending the service life of both headers and adjacent hardware. Over time, this layer supports reliable operation and prevents premature wear.
Precision Machined Flanges Delivering Reliable Sealing
Each flange is machined to a precise 3/8 inch thickness to align perfectly with factory mounting points on 1964–1972 Chevrolet 2WD truck blocks. This exacting flatness prevents warping during thermal cycles and ensures a consistent gasket seal without repeated adjustments. Combined with quality gaskets and hardware, installers achieve a leak free connection that maintains torque settings over thousands of heat cycles. The result is a straightforward bolt on installation process that safeguards performance and efficiency.
Engineered for a precise fit and long-lasting performance in your LS swap.
