Hedman Headers...which ones?
I need to buy a header kit (headers, gaskets, bolts, etc.) and Hedman seems like a good choice. I looked on summit and come away with 4 options...

What do you guys suggest? I picked these becuase they are full length, coated, and for a 351W. Couple questions, the first 2 are ceramic, the second 2 are thermal..difference? My 67 has a 74 block, will they still fit? Price is definitly a concern, do you think the cheaper ones will be fine? Anything I forgot...
Thanks guys!

Since you haven't gotten anything back I will tell you I run a different version of the Hedman Elites (the cheaper ones you listed) on my car. I have had them for 3 years and they are awesome. No problems with the ceramic coating, nice thick flanges. It is a quality product.
With that said I have a different header because I have a 66 w/ a 302. That doesn't help with the fitment, but I would guess last ones you linked to would be more than adequate. I had some other hedmans prior to the Elites I bought. They old ones were the same header just not as heavy duty flangesand not coated. I think all the ones you are looking at will probably have the same basic fit.
I know it wasn't all you need to make a decision, but hopefully it helps some with your decision.

The first and last ones say they are for trucks. The middle two are for Mustangs, by the listing anyway.
I've never done it, but I hear Summit has excellent customer service, so I'd suggest giving them a call and ask them which is best for your application. They can ask you any questions necessary and point you in the right direction.
