Hedman Headers ?

Hedman Headers ?
Wondering if Shorty or LT are the best option for my 1987 350 TPI Auto? From my searching it seems that the LT give our Cars less ground clearance. I already have a mini starter installed so Installation of the Headers will be a little easier, besides other modifictaions i have read about.
I can get a good price on a NIB set of Shorty's.
Also is the Summitt Y-Pipe part number 17478 the best match for this set of headers?

Re: Hedman Headers ?
I have the Hedman short headers and 17478 Y-pipe.
My car has a SB 400 and 4 speed Borg Warner, with an old 3: Banks exhaust system.
The headers and Y-Pipe fit pretty good, but I did have to grind some of my mini starter mounting block to make clearance for the bolts connecting to the Y-pipe.
The headers fit without any hammering, crushing, or beating, which was a first for me.
The Y-pipe is 2 1/2" if I remember correctly

Re: Hedman Headers ?
I was installing my hedman 17478 y-pipe and notice some things that might be a problem and was wondering if any of yall have delt with this issue. I got everything to fit good but now my tranny cooler lines are basically touching the y-pipe and the starter is also pretty close and I didn't know if that was a problem either.
Also I have the hedman shorties and they went in just fine only had to take valve cover off driver side and then they slide in
