ever since I put my shortie headers on my 360(3years ago), they have been leaking . What should I do to remedy this? Should I just replace the gaskets?
 
if its at the head ive always soaked the header gaskets in diff oil for 2 days to swell them up then put them on . it will smoke for a bit but then stop and it should mould to any deformities and stop leaking
 
where is the leak? at the cylinderheads or collectors?
if collectors what style flange are they?
are the flanges straight?
what kind of gaskets have you tried? i have had great luck with the MrGasket Ultra seals,forget about the white ones they have a bad habit of leaking and burn.
 
Need more info weres the leak?If at the head flanged double up always works for me.

+1 if its at the head, i doubled up the gaskets and used permatex copper
in between them, retorqued after heating them up and never had another problem.
