I ordered 96 s10 4.3 vortec shorty headers for a C1500 1996 4.3
I ordered 96 s10 4.3 vortec shorty headers to fit to my 96 c1500, as they are the same block. not sure if they will fit the fire wall yet, but the price was unbeatable and the quality looks like it will hold up long term. Only time will tell but as a DIY hot rod enthusiasts with plenty of mechanical knowledge there’s 5 star service, 5 star price, 5 star on shipping and handling times. Only thing I can say is to package the boxes with more cushioning as the box arrived pristine but had a minor tear from handling. For the Flashark R&D guys offer the 96+ c1500/k1500 guys a shorty header since the s10 guys got them. Plenty of people on the market are looking for affordable headers but don’t want to spend over $350 for a set on their 4.3s as that’s the only current market option. I get the 350 is more popular as I also have one, but there’s as many 4.3 engines still around and they will gladly buy them like I did. Thank you guys for helping folks achieve their goals affordably! - Dylan Haynes
