Putting a mild 360 in my 1970. What headers have been the easiest and most affordable to install. Looking at the Jegs and Hookers for around $200. Thanks!
 
I would stay away from the style if header where the steering linkage goes through the header tubes. I had a set a long time ago and the very first dip I hit, I smashed the header tube in. Rod
 
These ones look ok the flange is swept back like original manifolds a lot of the others are straight down in the middle so they won't fit an E body. The US $ is a lot better then the AU $ so could be worth pricing them up. I was going to get some but ended up getting cast manifolds (more $) instead. Another thing to watch is some (especially cheap) don't fit with power steering.

Thanks for the info guys. Funny story, i was looking through our parts van trailer and found a set of Hedman long tube 78050 headers lol (the cheapos). I think after all the reviews and bad outcomes I've read I'm going to bite the bullet and get a good set. AUSSIEMARK Those shorty headers you showed me are pretty much exactly what I'm looking for now. Just gotta find some stateside now!
 
Last night, a raised manhole cover knocked a leak in my long tube headers. Time to stop worrying over such, and change to something else.

I can't find then in U.S.
I'm not ruling out the solution (Kevin)Mopar 74 posted, but I'd like to have a more free flow, tuned exhaust header.
I found block huggers on ebay but not sure if they will clear the power steering gear box. Passenger side is no problem.
Anyone else have a suggestion?
 
The cheapo headers are a hit or miss on fitment. The best fitting ones for me have been summit or hooker.

A header that actually fits well that I have personally used is the Hooker Super Comp at a 1-3/4 tube.

I found these......sorta what I'm looking for but apparently does not work with my 4spd setup, damn! Only 1 1/2" primaries and 2 1/2" collector though. I figured for the price they would at least put some kind of coating on them as well???
 
Those are very good for small displacement engines that are of a mild build.
Take my advice and save up for ether the TTI or Hooker Super Comps.

Super comp Hookers are a good fit i cut the flange off tigged on a 2.5 adaptor gained around 3/4" ground clearance
 
Schumacher do headers that allow removal of the starter, fit with power steering and optional coatings they aren't cheap but you get what you pay for.
