Full length headers you will scrap over any good size dip or bumb and will grind the collector flang and cause a horrible leak. I would go with wome mid length headers.

I have no personal experience, but I read here that the Chevelle mid length headers are affordable, and give you better length without clearance issues.

Yes... These usually fit w/no or minor mods. BBC mid length units as well.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
