full length headers?

[jrod0877]

Hi all, I have a 1970 barracuda 340 SB. im putting it in a 1973 roadrunner. my question is should i get full length headers for it? Im not sure if they will fit on my car... i would appreciate any help... Thanks Jrod

Yes, full length headers produce more torque for street driving.

im just worried that they wouldn't fit in the car

An LA small block...is an LA small block. Doesn't matter if it's a 318, 340 or 360. They will fit.

Just don't buy the cheapest &/or thinnest ones available... spend a little extra $$$, get some quality headers & they will fit & last a long time... usually B-Body with small block cars, have a ton of room... as long as the car isn't too low it shouldn't be an issue...

IMO, there are only 2 header companies out there that make a header worth installing. That would be Doug's or TTI's. Pricey but OH SO worth it.
The only exception to this rule would be Hooker Super Comp headers. A slight bit cheaper than the above (but do Re-check!)

The Super Comp headers are a 1-3/4 pipe X a 3 inch collector. Use them high horse applications.

*All other headers* will have 3 tubes running under the front end linkage and will get flattened by the road, road debrise, speed bumps, etc....
A waste of money to purchase them IMO.

* of course there are the shorty headers, LMAO!!!!

I agree with "rumblefish360" as TTI and Doug make the best headers out there. Ron
