Gen 5 headers

[dedub]

I have an 80 ss ElCamino with A/C and manifold exhaust. It has a crate 350 and a TH350 trans.
I obviously want to put headers on sooner or later but if I had a dollar for all the times I heard people say they had to dent headers, torch control arms, had spark plug issues, starter clearance, well I would be a few bucks richer.
Does anyone have any real world success stories on decent headers that DO NOT have problems in a Gen 5 G body. I don't want to spend more than $300. dollars. Please don't send me a link to summit and say these should work like I got on other forums. I'm hoping for someone to say "I have these and I didn't have issues"
Thanks guys

i have had hooker headers in both my 79 442 and in my 87 monte carlo ls with no problems just had to lift the motor to drop them in but i have not had any problems i have cool-it header wrap on them and it still dont cause any problems its tight but they fit right

Thanks Sleepy,
You wouldn't have a model #, type, short or full length, would you?

520-02451 is the model number they are full length i have seem them go for different prices though but i would buy them again if i had to i am have a 383 with a th350 trans and i like the way they have fit i am using the stock starter and normal wires

520-2451 if u dont want the air fittings and is alot cheaper

Will those headers work with the vortec heads?? I'm putting in a GMPP zz383 and looked at the headers I had for the old engine and they don't look like they will work.

ive got flowtech headers, however i have no sucess stories yet but will keep you updated, several members suggested the flowtech headers for perfect fit.
