Best headers for 360 in a valiant

Having to short of a header tube will rob low end torque. While many will use it because of ground clearance, they are missing low end torque.

Longer header tubes make more torque. Short one are more focused on high rpm power production.

In all honesty, I’ll make the purchase of the long tube header every time. I’ll pay the TTI/Hooker super comp or Hedman price every time without batting an eye since I know I’m getting the most and making the best used of a header for power.

The TTI header has been pictured above and I have a set on the wife’s car and a set for an A body. While they are pricey, no doubt! There worth the expense.

A short tube header has its place but IMO, not on these cars. I’m not knocking anyone for using them. But they made a bad choice IMO. However, if there happy, that’s all that counts.

Hugger headers are most often seen on kit car/hot rods like you seen on happy days T. Show or the movie American Graffiti.
Chopped/channeled, tenderness Ford model A and T’s, pick ups, 32 Plymouth’s, etc… these cars are so light, there not going to miss the low end torque.
