Yea ! I seen so many members complain about the room and the pain of pulling the engine , I spent about an extra hundred and got 1 1/2 inch tubes and tuned headers , our member 66340sedan has been running his on the same model Valiant for 9 years now, the engine and trans can be removed with out pulling the headers or any front end parts, they do not hang down under the car like the block huggers do, so yea ! I am glad I went with these Super Comp Hooker headers sir, should be fine and dandy when it is ready for the road again.
