Hedman Hedders (69030): Easier-to-Install Long-Tube Headers for S-10 Small Block V8

What makes Hedman Hedders’ new long-tube headers for S-10 small-block V8 special? They have a one-piece, in-frame design that facilitates installation, unlike many other competing products.

These provide higher performance than cast manifolds or short-tube headers. They feature 16-gauge mild-steel primary tubes, stout 3/8” flanges, and Hedman’s gasket-less ball/socket-style collector. You can get these tubes uncoated, in polished silver, and in satin-black ceramic-metallic coated (Black Maxx) to fit the overall look and feel of your ride.

The 69030 gives users another high-performance header option from Hedman, one that offers more torque for stroker applications, particularly in high-RPM WOT situations.

Features

  • For S-10/S-15 small-block V8.
  • One-piece, in-frame design for an easier installation.
  • 16-gauge mild steel.
  • Three finishes available.

Trans-Dapt Performance (44062): Chevy S-10/SB Chevy V8 Swap-in-a-Box Kit

Stuffing an SB Chevy V8 or new-era LS motor into an S-10/S-15, Blazer/Jimmy, or Sonoma is a complex-yet-rewarding project. Doing the job yourself presents its own set of challenges, not the least of which is finding aftermarket components that work together to make the project run more smoothly.

Trans-Dapt Performance has partnered with Hedman and Hamburger’s Performance to create its Engine Swap-in-a-Box kit—the ultimate S-10 engine swap kit around. Each kit contains motor mounts/pads, a performance oil pan, and a complete set of Hedman hedders. The different kits vary only in regard to the included header; the 44062 contains Standard-Duty HTC-coated factory heads.

  • All parts designed to work together seamlessly.
  • Takes the guesswork out of component selection.
  • Includes motor mounts/pads, performance oil pan, and HTC-coated headers.
