"BEST" SBC headers for 2wd?
I am search of the best headers for a SBC in a 71 2wd. I have a set of Thorley Tri-Ys in my K5 on the 454 and they fit very nicley and seal up tight...I have also been looking at JBA's and Sandersons...Any thoughts? I just want something that has a THICK flange (3/8"?)and will provide ample clearance... Also I would like to find something that is offered in stainless..
So what are you guys running that you have had good luck with? Thanks...

I have Hooker Super Comp ceramic coated headers & they are great, the've been on the truck 4-5 years now, look good & no leaks, & they tuck up nice under my low truck & never hit, here's a pic of my truck so you can see how they look.

Re: "BEST" SBC headers for 2wd?
dynatech doesnt appear to make a set for our trucks. Mostly 2000+ years only

Re: "BEST" SBC headers for 2wd?
If you want stainless, 3/8" thick, full length headers, Stainless Works is the best header out there and they are the best. We are also a dealer.

Re: "BEST" SBC headers for 2wd?
I saw on stainlessworks website that there were two numbers listed. I take it that they are both stainless and one is polished, correct? I like the look of those that I was able to see pics for. Do they honestly fit really well??I am going with a full stainless exhaust and I want the crap to fit right without spending hours with a ball-peen MAKING them fit...

Re: "BEST" SBC headers for 2wd?
my dyno max headers are nice that are ceramic coated, they fit nice with little work. Don't remember the flanges because I used a bandint clamp to connect the pipe to the headers.
