Shorty heads will always fit and fit better then a long tube. Long tube can have fitment issues but will allow the engine to make more power.

Shorty for torque/daily driving. Long tube for the track. What do you want to do with the car?

My Sandersuck shorties didn't fit my car and my American Racing long tube headers fit like a glove.

I have heard those shorties linked to above do not fit a g-body well due to being too close to the steering shaft on the drivers side. The only other shorty left is the Sandersuck and they.... well.... suck.

You got a part number for those American Racing Long Tubes?

I have the Hedman 58078 headers on my Cutlass. 58078 is the ceramic coated version of the long tube header that you have the link for. I also put a Summit brand mini starter on it as well. The instructions say to use the original starter, but I had to dimple a tube to get the mini starter on it. I looked at re-using the original starter, but I think it would have required more modifications. Installation took a little bit of time, but I am happy with them. Much happier than the Flowtech headers that I put on it the first time. The Flowtechs fit well, but the flanges were very thin and warped easily. I always had exhaust leaks with the Flowtechs

I don't have the part number. Just Google it.

IMO, don't waste your time with headers on a daily driver at your power level ( I assume your 350 is very mild ). They are not the big boost of power many claim.
