I've had two sets on a 69 Road Runner. One with a 383 and one with a 400; no issues with ground clearance with either set.

They are a bear to get in and out though. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably try another manufacturer like TTI or Headman.

For what it's worth, on my current 400 based 470, I switched back to HP manifolds; it cost me a little over 2 tenths in the 1/4. For a mild 383, I'd bet the loss would not even be that significant.

Doug's D452 is the best header I have ever used and costs less than TTi

As stated, the Hooker Comps are a bit of a pain to get in and out, but once they're in.... They have pretty good access to everything(IMO).
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the fit.

If you're running angle plug heads, some dinging will be required on the right side header.

Absolutely agree. I put in a set of their ceramic coated headers and the went in smooth and have held up great over the years. I also have easy access to all plugs.
