Headers anyone?
Looking to purchase some headers for my 72 small block 350. Does anyone have suggestions on what to buy. I'd like ones that are clean and dont have clearance problems below. My truck has a 4.5/6 drop. Thanks in advance!

Re: Headers anyone?
Is your truck automatic or manual?

Re: Headers anyone?
How much are you looking to spend? The Thorley headers I'm using fit fantastic. Here's one pictures and there are others deeper into my build thread: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...&postcount=104

Re: Headers anyone?
I wouldnt suggest hooker super comps, with that drop they will be running low, mine hang below the frame rail. Im only doine a 2/4 drop, so i think Ill be ok.

Re: Headers anyone?
I just ordered some from Early Classic Enterprises that have had good recommendations. I think they are Sandersen brand but honestly forgot to ask. They are a little pricey but not too bad especially being ceramic coated.

Re: Headers anyone?
what ever brand you go with, order them for a CHEVELLE. they fit these frames good and tuck up more for lowered trucks.
