hey fyi. i bought headers for my 351c from hooker in my 70 coupe and they did not fit. but a cleveland is much bigger and you shouldnt have fitting problems. but i would suggest sandersonheaders. i just bought some of their plain headers heated them up to 400 in the oven and painted silver high heat and they look like chrome. they are shorty headers and they fit GREAT! i couldnt have bought a better header. i highly recomend them to you.
good luck.

the cheap summit longtubes didn't fit my 70 coupe with 351w. the outer tubesrubbed the front frame pieces. and had horrible alignment for my exhaust.the rubbing caused me toblow out exhaust manifold gaskets everyother week. I know have a set of longtubehedman 351w (65-70)swap headers.fit great with power brakes, and hyd clutch.

will these work?

yeah i saw the summit ones. they are cheaper but if they will not fit it may be a pricey error.

I put hooker competition headers on my 69 and they fit great,,, 69 and 70 are pretty much the same.. and only about $180
