Default Header Truble! Help!

I bought a set of LPE or TPIS longtube headers for a C4 L98 Vette on E-Bay for $415 after shipping. They were descibed just as I stated. We go to put them on and they are way to long(deep)! If they were on the car, they would drag on the ground! I need headers ASAP! Were can I get some 1 3/4 shortys fast and somewhat cheep? Would just about any SBC block huggers fit? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a rollercoaster this last week has been:D :eek: :confused: :mad :boxing

I have a set of hooker shorty headers that might work. They are coated and in good condition i took them off because i got TPIS long tubes. I also have a extra set of TPIS long tubes for sale for 550. New in box.

I'd love the long tubes but i'm darn near broke. I still need a Large Mouth Manifold and larger injectors(not sure what size yet). Do the shortys have smog pipes?

You could have goa set of hooker super comps 1 3/4" for ~400 new in summit.

I suggest you get them. They are ceramic coated too. I have no complaints about mine :cheers:
