72 no dent headers ?

Ive owned a few 72's in the past, I remember buying cheap headers years ago for one, but I had to put a major dent in them to clear the pass, side frame. Im tired of replacing stock manifolds, that end up cracking, and pipes keep coming loose. I want to go with a descent set of ceramic coated , but I dont want to get raped on price, or having to make them fit. Other thought, was block hugger? I figure someone has a good idea about this. thanks

Re: 72 no dent headers ?

I bought a set of Doug Thorley Cer coated for my 72/350 w/ac. I had to make a small mod on the a/c bracket but other than that they weren't a struggle to put on and still look brand knew after about 10,000 mi.

Re: 72 no dent headers ?

I run Sanderson headers 3/4 length on a 350 with no issues at all. They have thick flanges and are coated, Also run them with copper gaskets. cheers, Pat
