Budget headers for small block

speedyb-cc said
The biggest complaints about most full length cheaper headers are, they trap no's 5&7 plugs,need mods to shift linkage (auto column shift) drag the ground and have clearance issues with power steering, but other than that they are ok.LOL
If you can swing $277 hedman tight tubes look real good.

The $135 1 5/8" tube Hedmans do not trap the plugs. If you use the late model magnum plug (5/8" hex) you can go straight in with an extension and socket between the header tube and the head. I would route the wires for those two cylinders under the header tube with a 90 degree boot.
