which headers??
Have a cracked collector long tube headers. Think I wanna go with shortys to keep from having any bottoming out issues.
1. Will the shorties affect my gas mileage in a bad way? Motor is 350h/O , Holley 4 barrel, light cam. 2. Is there any decent brands with minimal fitment issues and durability that you would recommend? Thanks Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: which headers??
Go mid length headers. Shortys just look good and that's about it

Re: which headers??
I've never heard of anyone having bottoming out issues on a truck...unless it was insanely lowered.
I've used Hedman headers from Summit. Cheap, fit well, and good performance.

Re: which headers??
The ones i have on there now hang pretty low. The truck is lowered on 2.5 spindles and 1 coil cut in the front.

Re: which headers??
Doug Thorleys tuck up very nice on the bottom side of a BBC truck. You will hit other things long before you hit the collector.
