I've been shopping for some block hugger headers for the small block 350 in my '37 the past while since the old cast iron exhaust manifolds have slight cracks and don't look too good anyway, but haven't bought headers yet for two reasons:

1) I don't know which brand/model hugs the block the closest or offers the most clearance... I have VERY little space to work with between the block and fenders... also, I see there are normal headers and "shorty" headers... again, which is better? Any suggestions?

2) I am uncertain which are best... chrome, polished stainless or ceramic coated headers... ideally I think I'd prefer chrome (since you can never have too much chrome under your hood!) but of the three options which is best and will stay looking good the longest?

There are some great deals on ebay, but I don't want to buy something thinking it will work, find out otherwise and waste the money so I want to be sure before I take the plunge and buy something...

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help... smile
