Finally tearing into my motor putting a .454 cam with 268 duration. getting the heads rebuilt and new edelbrock intake manifold. and to top it off im going to order a pair of the Summit Racing Brand Full-Length, Steel, Ceramic Coated headers....i was just wondering if anybody else has used the summit racing headers and what kind of luck have you had? Thanks.

i have summit welded mufflers which are just flowtech afterburners so they are prbably just flowtech headers

i used a set of summit shorty headers on my 350 been on for 3 years and no problems the ones i got had pace setter paperwork with them

All of summits house brand parts are made by big name companies so they should be good headers.

Just bought a pair of Summit Racing ceramic coated polished headers for my 67 C10. I hope they fit. Looks like they will anyway. I have a 350 (5.7) not much clearance. But the headers that are already on it are in rough shape. The Summit Racing version look just like the ones I have. Keeping my fingers crossed.

The summit headers are just re boxed flowtechs for cheaper. I have a set of their ceramics and they work well. The ceramic coating isn't as durable as a set of $400+ headers.

I have a set of their "cheap" long tube headers on my 78 K10. I absolutely hate them. They do not seal against the head worth a hoot. My truck has a 454 so maybe that's only the big block ones. I'm actually going back to manifolds as a result.
