hello everyone, ok got some questions.

we're almost done building this 302 motor for my '65, and are gonna need some headers, (preferably Hooker Headers, or Heddman's.) Anybody have some headers on their's that they would recommend? If so, are they long-tubes or shortys? oh and also, i would like opinions on whether i should go with the long-tubes or shortys, because i know that with the long-tubes you can have ground clearance problems, (which is kind of a big deal for me because my girlfriend's driveway is really messed up and the bottom of my car can scrape sometimes) or should i go with the shortys at the loss of horsepower? any help is greatly appreciated! thanks!

What heads did you use?

[Dare1]

oh yeah sorry lol the heads are just "do0e" 302 heads off of a 1969.

apparently they're hi-performance 302 heads and not 351 heads, they've caused a lot of confusion haha.

You can't go wrong with tri-y style headers. they are long-tube style, but don't hand down as far as others, and they are a proven performance enhancing design.

yeah after i had posted that thread i remembered that those are out there too, thanks! i've heard lots of good things about them, and if i'm correct, aren't they what Shelby used on his cars back in the day?
