Thanks guys. I thought about shorties, but they are not nearly as efficient as a good set of full-on headers. I decided on the 1 5/8 tube size because of the torque they offer, and have considered "weld-em-ups", but obviously, a set of readt-mades is a lot less work. I was hoping someone had a set in an early truck, who could give me a little advice here. The engine is centered (+/- 1/8 or so), and I'm using an automatic and a mustang II front end. This gives me some wide open space, since I can route the steering and locate the master cylinder to suit. My real concern, as I said, is just fitment between the frame rails. I'm looking for something the hugs close to the motor/transmission all the way to the collector. Any thought?? Thanks again. :confused:
