Header fit issue

[Injectedcutty]

I ran long tube hookers with minimal dinging to clear the frame. I had way better luck with these mid length hedmans, no clearance issues at all. They are for sale btw, PM me if interested.

Shoenfeld headers will fit - best bang for the buck and performance (won't work with air)

Maybe try some Sanderson headers.

No. I don't know where the disagree came from. I clicked on your link and looked at them and that passenger side design is what I would like to find. Flowtech has headers that look like that for the driver side. I didn't want to spend 5 to $600 on a pair of headers but I don't want something it's going to rust out either. I was hoping to find it in stainless or possibly going with ceramic.

You might be able to find a place locally that can ceramic coat a set of plain headers and save some money.

Too bad you're not in south western Pa, I have a new/never used set of Hedman Elite 68318 that I'm not going to use & looking to sell them.

Is everybody of the opinion that ceramic coated headers are worth the additional expense?

Ive got a small block with "factory" iron heads and long tube Hedman headers in my 80 Elco. Fit with 0 clearence issues. I bought the cheap uncoated headers then had a friend of a friend ceramic coat them. Spent a total of about $300. What brand aluminum heads are you using?

If you can't find stainless headers than your next best bet for protection would be a ceramic coated header that is also coated on the inside.

I used Hedman 66609 on my LT1 with straight plug heads. However, they will fit aluminum heads with angled plugs.
They are D port.
