Headers Advice
I have 1st Gen. 350 with PS and AC in 86 square with long tube headers. I going to lower my truck more and will need shorties or block huggers to prevent dragging the ground. I have read reviews on some headers where guys complain of their plug wires touching the headers. Which headers have you guys had success with and suggest?

Re: Headers Advice
Thanks for advise brother but I am hoping there are guys running my setup with headers that don't touch wires. I'm not looking to run manifolds

Re: Headers Advice
I have never had a problem with plug wires touching headers on SBC's in our trucks, you just have to use a good wire retaining system with proper routing.
