I believe Hooker and Headman are the only two companies making fenderwell headers anymore.
The Hookers are 1 5/8 tubing and have two tubes go through the fenderwell and two go through the frame and are easier to install.
The Headmans are 1 7/8 tubing and all tubes go through the fender well but you have to cut away a portion of the shock brackets/federwell suports towards the top and you will have to weld on collectors because they are considered race car headers and dont come with any.
I used the Headmans because the Hookers were not big enough for the 671 on a 416 and I think they look nicer but they are a lot more work. I used a pair of 3 collectors from Flow Master; they look like Catalytic converter collectors but larger and dont use a gasket and dont leak.
If youre not running big horsepower, Id go with the Hookers, but whatever brand you choose, have them Jet Hot coated. I had mine done and there is hardly any of the heat you normally get from fenderwell headers, I can get within a ½ of the headers when they are hot and you dont burn your self or anything around them and I have one tube that is about an 1 from the master cyl. with the plastic reservoir and no heat issues.

I have some that came off a 76 duster 440, dont know if they'll work for you. Email [email protected] if interested!
