You have to be INSANE to have long-tube headers on a big-block A-body Mopar!

no, i purchased this car with the current headers installed. you probably already know that OEM 383 exhaust manifolds are very hard to find and are expensive when you do find a set. i have seen these but the difference between factory manifolds and headers is anywhere from 40 to 60 HP so i want to keep the headers.

I would too, especially since it has them already. Keep in mind though that the 69 manifolds were the "best" flowing of the big block A body manifolds. The word "best" being subjective, of course. lol

Can you weld? Heck, buy some flanges and header bends and try whoopin some up.
