Header Question

Can you get full length headers for our cars or can you only get shorties?

You can get full length but they're a bit trickier. I believe to install them you have to lift the engine a little.

The trickiest part is piping them after the collectors. They hang down, empty near frame, plus there are no emissions-legal versions, O2 sensor issues, etc.

If you have a race-only, no-mufflers-required, non-feedback car, they're fine. Some guys have installed them on street cars, but it's certainly a lot more complicated.

The car will be on the street but in Lufkin you dont have to worry about any emmissions crap And installing them will be included in the 305 to 350 swap. oh and where did you find the full length ones. thanks guys
