1969 GMC Pickup Headers

I was wondering what headers I should put on my SB 350. I have a 1969 GMC Pickup that has been dropped 4" in the front. I put an Edelbrock performance package on my motor that bumped up the HP to around 410 and I'm looking for headers that will not only fit, but won't effect compromise the added performance.

The easiest would be some shorty headers they would give you more ground clearance w/2.5" exhaust. I have some long headers I took out of a 72 and they were PIA to take out I don't think I could of got them out if I wasn't pulling the engine and they also hang below the frame

Thanks for the reply. I was told that shorties would take away from the performance package (decrease HP and torque).

Go to a local speed shop and see what they can do for you. I would think there would be quite a few in your area
