Default Headers

Okay so I have a 1973 C3 with a mild 350 in it. I also put reproduction 69 C3 side pipes on it because I love the way they look. I have the stock ram head exhaust manifolds on it but I’m looking for headers. Does anyone know of any bolt on headers that would easily fit the stock exhaust system?

Possibly Sanderson block hugger style 'shorty' headers.

These are the only ones that I know of that make a direct shorty header replacement for the stock exhaust
manifolds, if that's what your looking for. They are a little pricey though:http://www.vetteheaders.com/c3-corvette-headers/

This would be what I would do..........this would improve flow dramatically.......I would even go so far as to get a mandrel bend 90 degree pipe and change it out for the pinch bent factory deal leading into the can.
This would be easy to do in an afternoon.....with a welder and a buddy.
