Default header question...quick

i have a 77 with a small block..... i'm gonna get headers and was curious if these would be alright.......... 1 5/8 collector size, 3 in out.... or should i just stay with the original manifold... i'm redoing the exhaust anyways...... headers or manifold...that is the question.... once done, the engine mod might bring it up to 300-350 hp

Slow down, What brand, what mods, etc. Sounds like a standard Dynomax header. If you started with a stock L-48 or L-82 engine, then no it will not get you 300 to 350 hp.

sounds about right for header spec..........Make sure they will fit though and specify auto or stick. And don't pinch pennies on headers or you'll be chasing exhaust leaks for the rest of your life Headers definitely offer a performance gain over manifolds. good luck.

See seller's feedback- private ! & forget it.
Get Dynomax headers-ideal, fit & flow great.
If you want more info., you might want to see what many refer to as my Exhaust topic.
