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

Hi everyone.

I have a 68 Barracuda with a 340 in it and am looking to replace the exhaust manifold. I was looking into headers but after reading a couple of the threads here I’m not sure it’s a good idea? Yes? No?

If so, what are the best headers for a 68? Some that will fit without much modifying and won’t break the bank.

i have a Barracuda with a 340 and there is probably 2" additional room between both exhaust manifolds and the shock towers/fender wells with a small block versus a big block. there are several headers still produced for the 340, hooker, hedman, TTI. i'm pretty sure Summit lists under chassis headers for a 340 on their website and i think Jegs does also. you might also convert to a mini-starter for your 340. the difference between the Mopar OEM starter and a mini is like comparing a 1/2 gallon milk carton to a quart milk carton. i think the cheapest new 340 headers i've seen are around $350-$500 dollars.
