S-10 V-8 SWAP HEADERS 2WD PLAIN

The S-10 V-8 swap headers 2WD plain from Sanderson are a purpose-built solution for enthusiasts converting compact Chevy S-10 trucks and GMC Sonoma SUVs to small-block V-8 power. These shorty headers are engineered specifically for 2-wheel-drive platforms running 1982–2005 model years, eliminating the guesswork when transitioning from original inline-six or small-displacement V-6 engines to classic small-block Chevy V-8 configurations.

These headers feature 1.5-inch primary tubes that converge into a 2.5-inch collector outlet, a proven dimension for small-block displacement ranges typical of V-8 swap applications. The shorty design minimizes clearance conflicts with stock suspension, frame, and exhaust components—a critical advantage in tight engine bay conversions where full-length headers often create interference. Constructed from durable steel with a natural finish, the headers arrive complete with all necessary mounting hardware, eliminating the need to source fasteners separately.

S-10 and Sonoma owners executing V-8 conversions benefit most from these application-specific headers, as fitment and bolt-on installation are straightforward, ensuring optimized exhaust scavenging and improved throttle response across the RPM range.
