shorty headers
anyone have any cons about using a set of shorty headers on a 2wd 68?
the long tubes on there now dont work. they rub in 2 places and the starter wont fit between the block and them? im thinking of getting a set of the $59.00 unpainted ones from speedway. also how would powdercoat work?

Re: shorty headers
Only con I have ever heard is that they are not as good as long tubes
 I would imagine they would flow better than stock manifolds and are a heck of a lot lighter, I would find away to make the long tubes hit. I got a high torque mini-starter to fit my longtubes for less than $60 if that would help.

Re: shorty headers
 I have a set of sanderson blockhuggers if you need.Used but in great shape,picked them up for $40.00 so if you wan't them I will let them go for same plus shipping.I can't use them on my new burb,had to go with smog stuff instead.I'm in nj 08096 so 20 lbs usps to your house?Camera is broke but I might be able to get pics to you from my daughters phone (LOL my kids have better thing's than I do)

Re: shorty headers
About the issue of long vs. short headers ... yeah, the long tubes will likely make more power at certain rpm ranges, but you have to ask yourself if that extra power is even noticeable in the seat of your pants. In many cases that answer will be no. So maybe the smart money says to go with what fits most readily.
