RE: 351C Hooker Header Fitment
long tubes are desinged for full noise full revs to get the most out of them
for a street car, sell them to someone who doesnt know better and get some tri-y style headers. they'll work better, fit better and will improve fuel consumption (when your not ripping in to it
)
thats just my opinion of course, but check out some header manufacturers sites on differences between long tube (tuned length) and tri's.

RE: 351C Hooker Header Fitment
I have long tube headers on my 1970 Mach 1.I do not have any clearance issues but I have a C4. I do not know who makes them however; there is not much of a selection for the Cleveland. My bet is they are hookers. The headers were on it when I bought it and there are no notable modifications to them. I have heard there is a difference between headers made for a manual trans and an automatic. Do you have the right ones? Have you posted this question on the Cleveland forum (351cleveland.net)?
