Default headers in general..

Few questions here, I have a set of mr Gasket headers, unknown anything else, except full length....so question is, they will not work with the rack/pinion setup on the driver's side...need modifications.....
so....am I better off just getting another set??? any thing anyoe runs that is closer to the block??? thinking of shorty block huggers if it's any losses over the full length things I have now...???
OH the tubes are 1 5/8 od... it's a 355 engine...injected '72 engine, edelbrock heads,but may go back to iron...

can the headers be modified??? what is the usual cost???

If you can weld you can modify the headers. I doubt that you will find anyone to do it for you except maybe a buddy...

All you need is a hacksaw and your favorite welder...

You buy the tubing bent into a U and then cut slpice and weld the pipe back together.

Dons Hot Rod Shop has the best prices on U bends
