I don't think they are rusting. The ad says they are 304 stainless steel. They look like a bargain to me, if they fit well. It seems they also make a Big Block shorty: http://www.amazon.com/OBX-Header-Engine-Shorty-Hugger/dp/B001UFVCNI Plus, it looks like there may be better deals than ebay out there: http://www.ssaccessories.com/servlet/the-1790/OBX-Steel-Exhaust-Header/Detail Last edited by TooMany62s; 10/04/13 09:17 AM.

Been on for two years now. No problems. 1957 Dodge truck, Snakeskin Green with a little stroker motor. 1964 Plymouth Savoy wagon ( my new project)

I ran 3 inch pipes from the collectors on back. 7876403-Photo06191339.jpg (344 downloads) 1957 Dodge truck, Snakeskin Green with a little stroker motor. 1964 Plymouth Savoy wagon ( my new project)

I don't think I give up too much horsepower with this setup. 1957 Dodge truck, Snakeskin Green with a little stroker motor. 1964 Plymouth Savoy wagon ( my new project)
