I would like to put a set of headers on my smallblock 4 speed what brand require the least amount of fabrication, I have seen some that you have to adjust around the clutch linkage also do you have to replace the dipstick tube for clearance

Lots of members here with DynoMax; including me. Excellent value for the money.

I think I am going to put the Dynamax on also I agree they seem to be the best value. Thanks for the comments
