Are there any long tubes that will work with stock 2.8 mounts?

explain little more there buddy... I have a 2.8 extendo cab and my eng. is in but with shortys. But I can give it a shot.

I imagine any of the fenderwell headers will work with the 2.8 mounts.I dont know of many between the framerails longtube headers.I have the Hedman longtubes,and they said you have to use the Trans-Dapt mounts.I know Bakas used to run the Headman longtubes,but I dont know which mounts he used.If he dont chime in,maybe PM him.

I'm Using the TRANS DAPT but the prblem I ran ito was had to beat the carap outa the left side firewall lip and move your brake line forward more...As I seen sanderson headers fit well. From what I read on the site.

Fenderwells are outta the ?. I dont have that much in the whole truck LOL . Just wanted to see if anyone ran inframe longtubes with the 2.8 mounts

[SassyV8]

I am sure you can. call summit or jegs your choice. mine had 2.8 mounts and used the trans-dapt conversion and so sure that they will work.

Most long tubes require the use of the mount relocator and the v8 clamshells.

Yes. I ran the long tube hedmans with the 2.8 motor mounts. I did have the V-8 clam shells tho. I think it took two days to get the driver side set on. Lots of trouble getting them to work and they are way to expensive for the perf. gain. The flange is to thin and they leaked, even with two gaskets. These were the ones made for a S-10. Drivers side were in 3 pieces and you had to remove to get to the oil filter. If I had to do over I would use the shorties but, NOT the conversion manifold. Now we use the fenderwells.
