Re: Headers

I guess if he wanted to run manifolds he wouldn't be asking about headers. I'd like to see that chart that show headers make no improvement in flow. I never run my trucks over 5 grand

The 3/4 length headers are a sure bet and on a street truck I think the difference in performance will be negligible between 3/4 and full since the difference plays out in high RPMs. I never had any full-length headers that hung below the frame, but I haven't bought new headers for a 2wd in a long time. It seems many do now and I wonder if it isn't header makers shoving '73-ups onto us 67-72 guys. The 4wd headers ride high and tight. I have the 12 year old Headman Torque-steps off of my '72 right now and wish I had a 2wd to mock them up to. I think they would work, but would like to verify. They say the 4wd headers don't hang as low. The old Cyclones and Blackjacks never hung down
