Need help with headers!!!

OK guys/ladys i got a 1991 Firebird Formula 5-speed. I recently dropped a 350 in it, carbureted. I need help finding a set of full length headers that will fit. This is an early model 350. I think its a 1970 motor. So i need a set of headers that will both fit the motor and on my car. Any help is appreciated. I really dont want shorty headers so a set of full length is what im really looking for. Im also gettin side exiting exhaust so i will have dual pipes. Also if we can keep the price of the headers under $250 that be awesome.

Just look for a set of headers for your car model and tell salesman you have a v8 engine. year of engine wont matter.

A set of Hedmans should do the trick for you: affordable, good fit, good pieces.

Re: Need help with headers!!!

i ended up going with the shorty headers cause of the 5 speed, the slave cylinder is in the way and i didnt want to/ didnt have the room to extend the long tubes down enough to clear, and not have them hit the ground.

something like this is what i used, with a doug's headers mandrel bent y-pipe, no restrictions there
