long tube headers

1979bruiser · 09-13-2006, 07:27 PM

has anyone ever used 5.0 long tubes headers on a 351w swap?

No, they haven't. Cuz they won't work without MAJOR mods. 351 is taller and wider, so the tubes hit just about everything except the heads.

yea i like them , they look good . now i have to get new heads because the gt40 heads dont have enough gasket surface on the head to seal up w/ the large tube headers .i went today to put a deposit on a pair of aftermaket heads.
