Default Headers

Hey guys,
i'm in the process of building a 347 for my 65 and am trying to make a header decision. Currently i have heddman's on the car and hate them. They fit awful, every time i cut the wheel all the way it bumps the headers and lifts the motor. This has caused me to go through countless motor mounts and has also worn a hole in the headers.

My question is, which headers are the best for my 65. I think that fit is most important to me. I'm considering hookers. Ceramic coated or non? Anny info will be greatly appreciated.

You'll find the Hooker headers will fit better but you'll pay for them too.
As for coatings I really dunno if they get you anything or not......

there is a washer trick that you can do to eliminate the steering shaft rubbing.

unbolt the motor mounts and raise the engine high enough to get a washer between the mount and the frame, or the mount and the engine... either way, this will slightly raise the motor and give you more clearance
