Header help
I am looking to buy some headers and I want a set that not going to break the bank. The question is how low can I drop the truck and still use long tubes? I would rather buy shorty headers but I can seem to find the ones for a 1967 truck and I would rather not use block huggers that just come straight down. If you have pic or part number that would help thanks for all your help guy Brandon

Re: Header help
You've already spelled out your options:
1) You know if you're slamming it down, you can't use long tube headers. 2) Since you ARE slamming it, you need to either use the manifolds or shell out the cash for shorty headers. 3) You could always compromise: Do a 2/4" drop instead of a 10 ft drop and use the good headers... |

Re: Header help
I have Hooker comps on my sb Longhorn, with a 3/5 drop, & no issues. The collector flanges hang 2" below the rails, & I dont think a 4" drop would cause me any trouble. Chances are you would have more trouble with the rest of the system(just be sure to tuck the pipes up over the trans crossmember, & through the trail arm crossmember). I have 2 custom made crossmembers under my truck, that the pipes go under(but are tucked up tight). From a side shot on the rack, you can see about 1/2 of the 50's Flows below the rails.....& nothing drags crazyAL
