Headers for a 71 SWB with 350 and Manual Trans

[Paul V]

Hi there, i need headers for my 71 which is fitted with a 350 and manual trans. The reason is the headers that are on my truck have holes in them at the collector and are in bad shape.

Now i plan to do a LS swap in the future so dont want / need to go mad with them, i was looking at these http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performan...30055/10002/-1

They say they should fit with the clutch pedal, but may need a slight modification which i am happy with, but the main issue is clearance the truck will be lowered and not sure if these will run a to low ?

Any thought and input would be good.

I got these for my 350 and sm 465 combo in my '68 and they fit perfectly without any modifications:

They also make them in ceramic coated for $229.

These mid-length headers are supposed to fit manual trans if you have floor shift and ground clearance is however good you want it to be as they don't hang down like full length. They will not fit column manual shift. Also, I've heard many people complain that summit said their headers would fit and they were dis-appointed.
