RE: 2 part header question
They were the only company that made headers that would fit a 351C 4Vhead with Power Steering and a 4MT. I guess you could say that it was because of clearance issues. No one else makes a header that will clear the PS and clutch linkage in my '69. You may have the same problem.

RE: 2 part header question
i hope not.. though i have a c-4 autoand no a/c, but i do have p/s. It's a very tight fit on the driver side due to the steering box more so... my p/s doesnt interfere with it.

I am not sure about your particular setup, but I had only one choice for manufacture when buying my headers that would fit my car and options. I have a 351C with A/C and PS. This limited me to Hooker headers. They are full length and do create some ground clearance issues, but it was that or no headers for me. You might do some research on who makes headers for your setup before asking who to look for. I love my equalength headers by Bassani for my 351W in my Bronco. You might start there. As for size of pipe, if you are going to stay with dual pipe all the way, I would go with 2.5". 3" is a huge pipe and it will affect your torque. I tend to error on the side of going bigger, except on carborators and exhaust pipes. Then I choose the smaller option for lowend torque.
