I used a set of 65-85 1/2 ton 1 5/8 tube full length headers years ago in a 56 3100. Had the stock front mounts, and cleared everything. I think they were a cheap set of headmans - all I could afford at he time - I think I actually got them at Auto zone. The only thing was that the collectors pointed down slightly - not a problem on the dragstrip ( SMILE) but a pain to hook up a street system to.This was 84 when I was running on a high school budjet.
