Have installed a 350 small block into my 46 frame with Mustang II front suspension and T-bird power rack steering. I'm looking for recommendations on headers that allow enough space on the drivers side for steering linkage. I've heard that tight fit shorty street rod headers work but wonder what specific brands to look for.
Many thanks for your responses.

Take a look at Speedway Motors, they have many good choices that will work.

i have the same setup on my 36 and the block hugger heaader work good. if you look at the headers the ones with the center tubes on the outside at the collector are 11/2" tighter to the block.

I used Hooker Block Huggers but as Leonard says they do vary depending on manufacturer.

I'm using sandersonheaders on my 58 gmc. While I've only done a temp install to see how they fit so far I'm happy with them. Of course I probably have more room under my hood then you.Larry


58 gmc 100 with 350 sbc
