Long tube clearance issues
i am going to get some long tube headers. i was looking at http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku or http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku. i was just wondering if these would be good headers and the bottom clearance issues long tubes might have. I think i read about a few people talked about bottoming out with them. i also heard, but dont remeber which, that certain engine bushings would raise the engine about 1/2 in. would that help with the header clearance? if the dougs arent good there are some hookers i think i might be able to afford. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Did you have any trouble clearing stock starter with your Dougs headers? Im looking to order some today and that is my only concern.
