How far do long tube headers hang down

[m1028cucv]

Hey guys does anyone have pictures of there 1982-88 454 square body with long tube headers? I want to see how far the 4x4 headers hang down vs the 2wd. All I’ve gotten are people saying “there a few inches shorter that the 4x4 headers” but I personally don’t know how far down they hang so I would like for pictures if you guys have any.

Didn't think there would be a difference in the 4x4 or 4x2 lengths - but apparently I don't know what I don't know. And especially with a BBC.

These are pictures of Chevelle headers- I tried to find a picture of before I went to these, but couldn’t- I’d say a good 4” lower. And I do believe that 2wd vs 4wd are the same, I’ve never seen them advertised differently for application.

Edit- this picture is 2wd with a 5”/6” lower.

Sorry boss.
I just have a '79 2wd 3/4ton that is stock height with a big block.
But it wears a set of headers designed for a 1968-1972 BB Nova.
They tuck like a scared dog.

Here we are just looking casually under the truck.
You can see the front crossmember is lower than my collector bolts.

Putting my head and phone on the ground and you can finally see them up in there like cold nuts in a spring mountain stream.

I have a buddy that just so happened to have this set lurking around his place and didn't need them.
They were free-99 to me to test and see if they would fit the application.
I think they have now been in there long enough to rot out that flex pipe you see in there.
It is time to finally put the full 3 inch exhaust on it that will attach to these fine pipes that let that big block sing under full gas pedal.

See if you know somebody that has a random set kicking around or watch the swap meets for a set.
These bolted right up even with the factory Z-bar for the clutch.

I don't think there's any difference in 2wd and 4wd headers, I've never seen them advertised that way. But as posted above, Chevelle and Nova headers are the usual go-to's for tucking up nicely
