    Header options for a B-engine stroker in a Dart?

    Picked up a clean 400 and am looking to go to a 499 stroker. What options do I have for headers if I want to keep power steering in a '68 Dart? Currently the car has a 383 with Schumacher headers, but I don't think the Schumachers will flow enough for the stroker......

    I have a question: who has experience with the Comp Cams Ultra Pro Magnum rockers arms and shafts (p/n 1621-16) in a big block (383 in my case).

    Driveshaft length for a '68 Dart 383/727 ??
