Anyone making GOOD power with there BBC and using stock manifolds? Just wondering because so many of the headers hang too low and they will get drug off on my truck. Thanks

Stock manifolds may not be ideal, but if you think about all corvettes, chevelles, and all most other muscle cars came with them, so if your internals and good for power and you are not building a race truck, monifolds won't make a huge difference.
