need help I'm currently running Chevrolet headers on my 78 4 door but they are a less than perfect fit and a nightmare to install I'm pulling my motor back out later this fall to install a 496 rotating assembly and would like to find a better header option.i have found big block body headers but there almost 700 dollars is this my only option or is there a cheaper alternative that I'm missing here?i appreciate all the answers in advance!!!

This has been covered quite a bit, I have the Hooker 2241 headers in my personal car and they fit good but I would not call them a great fitting header by any means necessary. a lot of guys have used the Hooker 2455 and the results are about the same but you do get to save roughly 500 dollars. Here is a video I have referred many people to and I believe he is a member here.

I do really appreciate that I got ebay headers now and definitely don't wanna deal with them this fall when my motor comes back out!!!

I had the 2241's for about 10 min before I returned them and went with the 2455

Ya I'm gonna go with the 2155's from what I'm told they seem like the best fit.
