I was impressed considering I'm running a BB in an original SB car, which is tighter on the passenger side on the 73+ B bodies. I personally couldn't financially justify spending 450 on headers.

My headers rusted to pieces on the Oregon coast with all of the above mentioned conditions. Since they are a pain to install, it's easier to buy good ones once and be done. 1967 Dodge Dart GT 3.23 sure grip 8.75/727/360 .020 over w/edelbrock heads 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab CTD
