1971 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 header question

Welcome to the site!

And for best clearance stock manifolds are the way to go, but they restrict power. I have a 73 dart swinger and I just bought a set of dougs longtubes for it, pricey but from what I've read they fit nicely and don't sit low to the ground.

I've heard that some people have issues clearing the steering linkage with dougs, but I can't vouch for the accuracy of that claim because I haven't installed them yet. It may have something to do with old motor mounts that have sagged down a tad, not sure though.

You could go with a cheaper set of headers, but they will sit low and hit other things. Putting in headers is always a pain, but they are worth it once they are in!
